Cataratas del Iguazú is a small regional airport serving the Iguazu Falls region with limited international connectivity and modest daily traffic. Connections are straightforward due to the compact single-terminal layout, but flight frequency is low and most passengers connect through larger hubs like Buenos Aires or São Paulo rather than stopping here. All operations occur within a single, compact terminal building with integrated domestic and international areas. Passengers walk between check-in, security, and gates; no train, shuttle, or inter-terminal bus service exists. Security re-screening is required only for international-to-domestic connections, as Argentina maintains a single security perimeter for departing passengers regardless of destination.
