Cutral-Co Airport
In Argentine Patagonia's Neuquen province, Cutral-Co Airport, identified by the code CUT, sits near one of the country's most productive natural gas fields, giving the twin towns of Cutral-Co and Plaza Huincul an economy built heavily around energy extraction. Domestic flights connect the airport to Neuquen city and occasionally Buenos Aires, serving oil and gas workers alongside local residents more than tourists. The surrounding steppe landscape is dry and windswept, typical of northern Patagonia, and the airfield's single runway handles a modest schedule reflecting the area's small population.
