Cataratas del Iguazú International Airport lies in forested countryside in Misiones Province, Argentina, a short flight from the spectacular Iguazú Falls and the tri-border area with Brazil and Paraguay. Operated by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, it is the easternmost Argentine airport served by scheduled flights and forms the principal gateway to the falls from the Argentine side.
Cataratas del Iguazú International Airport, also known as Mayor Carlos Eduardo Krause Airport, serves the town of Puerto Iguazú and provides the main air access to the Iguazú Falls on the Argentine side of the border. It is operated by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 and is notable as the easternmost Argentine airport served by scheduled flights, making it a natural staging point for pilots exploring the tri-border region with Brazil and Paraguay.
The airfield sits in forested countryside about 16 kilometres southeast of Puerto Iguazú and roughly 6 kilometres south of the falls themselves, within Misiones Province in the far northeast of Argentina. It occupies a large site of some 1,804 hectares, reflecting its role as a regional international gateway despite modest traffic levels.
The field has a single physical runway, 13/31, measuring 10,830 feet with a hard surface and runway lighting. An instrument landing system is provided for runway 31, giving pilots a precision approach aid into this otherwise remote jungle airfield.
Air traffic services are provided on TWR 120.7 MHz, which covers both tower and approach functions. Runway 31 is served by an ILS, useful given the surrounding forested terrain and the airport's relative isolation from other instrument facilities.
The Iguazú Falls themselves, lying only about 6 kilometres north of the field, are the dominant visual landmark in the area and a useful reference for pilots orientating themselves on approach, alongside the town of Puerto Iguazú further to the northwest.
The airport takes its formal name from Mayor Carlos Eduardo Krause and has long served as the principal air link between Puerto Iguazú and the rest of Argentina. Investment in a new control tower was reported in 2014, reflecting ongoing efforts to modernise the airfield's infrastructure to support its role as an international gateway to one of South America's most visited natural attractions.
The airport remains an active international field operated by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, with scheduled services historically including Aerolíneas Argentinas, Flybondi and JetSmart Argentina linking Puerto Iguazú to Buenos Aires and other Argentine cities, along with occasional links to further destinations. Its single long, lit, hard-surfaced runway with ILS on 31 makes it accessible to a range of aircraft types despite its remote setting.
