Ezeiza International Airport will undertake an ambitious renovation, resurfacing, and maintenance project on its secondary runway, which will directly affect the schedule of international flights.
The airport will not close completely, but it will significantly reduce its operations between October 25 and November 11 due to rehabilitation work on secondary runway 17-35 and its intersection with the main runway.
For 18 days, flight operations will be limited to a single runway whose available length will be temporarily reduced from 3,300 to 1,850 meters. This will primarily affect long-haul flights and wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 777, Boeing 787, and Airbus A350, which will be unable to take off at maximum weight on such a short runway.
Airlines may adjust flight schedules, switch to smaller aircraft on certain routes, adjust payloads, or add intermediate stops that allow them to operate with smaller aircraft. Each decision will depend on the aircraft type, flight distance, and the operational planning of each airline.
