Buenos Aires Airport — Punta Arenas, Costa Rica

Buenos Aires Airport serves a small town of the same name in Costa Rica's Puntarenas Province, and has no connection to the much larger Buenos Aires that serves as Argentina's capital. This Costa Rican Buenos Aires sits in the country's southern Pacific region, with the airport at 1,214 feet above sea level reflecting the hillier terrain found inland from the coast. A single short runway handles small domestic aircraft rather than any international service. Nearby airfields include Palmar Sur at about 28 kilometers away, Golfito at roughly 59 kilometers, and Puerto Jimenez at about 70 kilometers, all serving Costa Rica's rural southern Pacific zone. Travelers should not confuse BAI's single-runway domestic airstrip with the major international airports serving the Argentine capital thousands of kilometers to the south.
