Brigadier Antonio Parodi Airport (SAVE) serves the town of Esquel in Chubut Province, in Argentine Patagonia. It is a medium-sized airfield with two hard-surfaced runways, one of them long enough and equipped with an ILS to support scheduled airline traffic into this high-altitude Andean setting.
Brigadier Antonio Parodi Airport lies just outside Esquel, a town in the Andean foothills of Chubut Province, Argentina. It is classified as a medium airport with regular airline service, making it a useful destination for a simulated cross-country into Patagonia, and its high field elevation and mountainous surroundings give approaches here a distinct alpine character.
The airfield is situated at coordinates 42.9039 S, 71.1356 W, at an elevation of 2592 feet, close to the town of Esquel in Chubut Province in southern Argentina.
The airfield has two physical runways, both hard-surfaced and lit. The main runway, 05/23, is 7839 feet long on the 23 heading and 7838 feet on the 05 heading, and is equipped with an ILS on runway 23. A shorter secondary runway, 08/26, measures 4222 feet in each direction and is also hard-surfaced and lit.
Air traffic services are provided on an approach and tower combined frequency of 118.1 MHz (APP/TWR). Runway 23 is served by an ILS, giving instrument approach guidance into the field's higher terrain.
The airport handles scheduled airline service into Esquel, making it a live, active field for arrivals and departures rather than a quiet general-aviation strip.
