Distance & flight time from CNQ
Corrientes Airport
Along the eastern bank of the Paraná River in Argentina's Mesopotamia region, CNQ connects Corrientes city with Buenos Aires and other domestic points via Aerolíneas Argentinas, giving the provincial capital and its historic riverside downtown a direct air link that spares travelers the long overland drive south. Corrientes sits just across the river from Resistencia, capital of neighboring Chaco province, and the two effectively form a single metropolitan area straddling the waterway, each maintaining its own separate airport. The province's economy leans heavily on citrus groves and rice cultivation, and the nearby Esteros del Iberá wetlands, one of South America's great freshwater ecosystems, draw a growing number of nature tourists through the terminal each year. Regional jet service making up the airport's modest schedule runs from a lone runway serving the provincial capital.
