El Tehuelche Airport (SAVY/PMY) serves Puerto Madryn on the Golfo Nuevo coast of Chubut Province, Argentina, a few kilometres inland from the gulf and about 5 km northwest of the city itself. It offers a single long, lit hard-surfaced runway and scheduled links to Buenos Aires, making it a straightforward destination for pilots flying into Patagonia.
El Tehuelche Airport lies just outside Puerto Madryn, a coastal city on Golfo Nuevo in Chubut Province, Argentina. It is a public airport owned by the Argentine Ministry of Planning and Public Services and operated by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, handling scheduled airline traffic as well as general aviation movements. For a simulator pilot, its long single runway, coastal Patagonian setting, and role as a regional gateway make it an interesting waypoint on a South American itinerary.
The airport sits about 5 kilometres northwest of Puerto Madryn and roughly the same distance inland from the Golfo Nuevo coastline, close to the RN3 Acceso Norte road into the city. No specific controlled airspace classification, neighbouring aerodromes, or FIR boundary detail is available beyond its general Chubut Province location.
El Tehuelche has a single physical runway, 06/24, with a hard, lit surface measuring approximately 8,157 to 8,158 feet in length depending on direction. The field elevation is 430 feet. There is no ILS approach available.
The tower frequency is 119.5 MHz, with the callsign Madryn Tower.
No specific joining, circuit height, or noise abatement procedures are available.
No published visual reference points are available; the airport can be identified relative to Puerto Madryn city and the Golfo Nuevo coastline, lying a few kilometres inland and northwest of the town.
El Tehuelche Airport is owned by the Argentine Ministry of Planning and Public Services and operated by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000. Historical passenger and movement statistics show growth through the 2000s, with passenger numbers rising from around 10,600 in 2005 to over 40,000 by 2010, reflecting the airport's development as a regional gateway serving Puerto Madryn and the wider Chubut coast.
The airport continues to handle scheduled airline services, with Aerolineas Argentinas and Flybondi operating flights to Buenos Aires-Aeroparque. It is administered by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 under the ownership of the Argentine Ministry of Planning and Public Services.
