El Palomar Airport — El Palomar, Argentina

EPA is the code for El Palomar Airport, located in the El Palomar district of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Historically an important military and aviation testing site, the airport gained new prominence when Argentina designated it for low-cost carrier operations, aiming to boost affordable domestic air travel outside the congested Aeroparque and Ezeiza airports serving central Buenos Aires. EPA has hosted budget airlines offering routes to various Argentine provincial cities, making air travel more accessible to price-sensitive travelers. The airport retains ties to the Argentine Air Force and continues some military functions alongside its civil aviation role, giving it a dual-use character within the broader Buenos Aires metropolitan air transport system.
