About El Bolsón Airport
El Bolsón Airport, designated by the IATA code EHL and ICAO code SAVB, is a state-administered regional aerodrome managed under Argentina’s national civil aviation framework. The facility primarily handles turboprop and light jet operations, consistent with its 1,800-metre runway, which accommodates smaller aircraft categories with ease. The terminal is modest but functional, with general aviation handling available for private charter arrivals, and Argentine customs and border formalities can be coordinated in advance for international routing via an Argentine gateway airport. The airfield’s setting — surrounded by forested peaks and the Río Quemquemtreu valley — makes it one of the most scenically striking airports in all of Patagonia. Its relatively low traffic volume ensures an uncongested, efficient experience for private aviation clients.
