Argentina is the third largest business aviation market in Latin America, and the second when considering the number of private jets available for charter. The Argentine general aviation fleet is largely jet based, with 51% (or 72 aircraft) of the charter fleet being private jets. Turboprops (21%) and twin-engine helicopters (11%) are two other most popular categories.
Next, we will tell you about all of the details of the main executive routes, airports, and private planes available for rent in Argentina.
Main Executive Airports in Argentina
According to the National Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC) in Argentina, there are 276 aerodromes for public use and just over 200 for private use. Of those available for public use, commercial aviation only reaches about 25, while executive aviation, depending on the aircraft, can reach more than 400 of them.
As for the main executive airports in Argentina, it is not surprising that the two main ones are in Buenos Aires, the main hub of executive aviation in the Southern Cone, while they are followed by Bariloche, driven by tourism from the northern zone of Argentina, Mendoza, the emerging city that has gained worldwide recognition for its potential around ecotourism and its well-known Wine Route, and Córdoba, the second most populous city in Argentina after its capital.

The Most Popular Private Jet Routes in Argentina
The following list contains the most popular routes in the Flapper system, along with our business aircraft recommendations. Simply click on the link to see all the available options.
Buenos Aires – Punta del Este
One of the main tourist routes on the continent connects the Argentine capital with the beautiful city of Punta del Este in Uruguay, also known as the Miami of South America. A good aircraft for this route, agile and modern, is the Honda Jet Elite for 6 passengers.
Buenos Aires – Montevideo
The Argentina-Uruguay connection continues at a steady pace thanks to its proximity, and this time it is business that connects the capitals of both countries and not pleasure, as is the case with Punta del Este. The proximity of both cities makes it possible to charter a twin-engine piston plane like the Cessna Chancellor, with a flight time of just under 40 minutes, or a helicopter like the Bell 206B JetRanger, with a flight time of 1h20min.
Buenos Aires – Bariloche
Another of the leisure-driven routes connects the capital with the north of Argentine Patagonia, towards the beautiful city of Bariloche. Known for its distinctive alpine-style architecture, national parks, and beautiful nearby ski resorts, it’s possible to travel from Buenos Aires in just over two hours aboard the 5-passenger Phenom 100 light jet.
Buenos Aires – São Paulo
The two main urban centers of South America have significant demand throughout the year, and it is possible to connect both capitals in 2h30min aboard a Citation Excel for six passengers, one of the best-selling and most used executive aircraft in the history of the industry, thanks to its comfort, quiet cabin and versatility.
Buenos Aires – Ushuaia
Executive aviation also offers the possibility of easily connecting greater Buenos Aires with the southernmost tourist center in the world in Tierra del Fuego. Driven by pleasure, this high demand route usually takes travelers from the capital who want to discover the unique landscapes of the area, as well as enjoy a modern ski center. Flapper recommends chartering a midsize plane for this route, such as the comfortable 8-passenger Challenger 300, which takes just under 3h20min to connect the two destinations.
