History edit

The airport is named after Juan Pistarini, Minister of Public Works during the presidency of Juan Perón, who placed the cornerstone of the project on 22 December 1945.[11][12] It was designed and erected by Argentine technicians.[13] Its construction, which took four years to be completed,[14] was one of the major projects in the five-year plan of the first presidency of Juan Perón.[13] The airport was inaugurated on 30 April 1949.[14] When it opened it was the third-largest airport in the world.[15] A 1949 diagram[16] shows three runways crossing at 60-degree angles: 9,353 feet (2,851 m) runway 10/28, 7,220 feet (2,200 m) 4/22 and 6,892 feet (2,101 m) 16/34.

The Ezeiza massacre took place near the airport in 1973.[17][18]

Operations edit

Since December 2012, citizens from countries requiring an entry visa for Argentine nationals – including Australia and Canada – are charged a "reciprocity fee" to enter Argentina, equivalent to the price the countries charge Argentine citizens for a visa.[19][20] Until December 2012 (2012-12)[19] the tax was collected, in Argentine pesos or US dollars, at the airport;[20] since then, the tax must be paid in advance online from the country of origin.[19] As of 23 August 2016, the Argentine Government (Presidential Decree No. 959/2016[21]) has resolved to suspend the collection of the reciprocity fee from US passport holders who visit the country for less than 90 days, for tourist or business purposes.[22]

In October 2012, Ezeiza Airport recorded the highest annual traffic growth of all the airports operated by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000.[23] For this month, the airport handled 767,824 passengers, a 10.9% increase compared to the previous October; the volume of international and domestic traffic for October 2012 increased 8.7% and 108.3%, respectively, year-on-year.[24] Overall, 2012 traffic figures for the airport indicated a 7.3% increase over the previous year.[25] Figures for July 2013 showed that the airport handled 688,397 passengers, an 8.9% decrease over the previous year.[26]
