argentina's closure of domestic airports
We're told that there will be repairs at the domestic flight airports and that they will be closed Oct. thru Dec???? Will that create somewhat of a huge problem getting around?

There is a rumour about closing the domestic airport for some time but nothing s been confirmed yet. If all domestic flights take off and land in the same EZE airport, there shouldnt a problem for the tourists. The only thing we can do now is to check the times as there will be some changes.
Today, the info desk at Ezeiza airport informed that the confirmation would be given end of August beginning of September.

We just returned from a 3 week trip to Argentina, Uruguay and Chile. It was our second, and the first time, we spent a great deal of time connecting in Buenos Aires, no matter what our destination. This time, we used some alternate airports and airlines. For example, we traveled from Cordoba to Montevideo and Montevideo to Santiago on Pluna. The flight was on time, planes were clean and modern, and the fares were excellent ($180 per person for both flights, including taxes.) If you have time for a side trip to Uruguay, you might try this route and then either Pluna or Buquebus to Buenos Aires. There are also flights out of Rosario. We noticed in the Cordoba airport that Andes Airlines and Sol Airlines also fly directly to points in Argentina without the connections. I researched Andes on Flyertalk and, from what I could tell, customers were pleased with their experience. I haven't checked on Sol yet. Lan ran several specials right before our trip - Round trip Santiago to Mendoza for $50. RT Santiago to Montevideo for $99 - Not sure what your itinerary is, but these might be worth a look.

The international airport EZE should be fine. There is a brand new terminal and they fly to both regional and international cities. it may increase the volume a bit but shouldnt be a problem at all
hope that help

According to the leading local daily, it WILL be a problem.
http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1290781
The article says AEP (the airport for local flights) will be closed for 50 days from Oct. 15, which means EZE (our international airport) will have to serve TWICE as many travelers than its normal volume.
The AEP is expected to reopen in early Dec.
Wait for a while and then check with your airline or travel agent for more precise info about your particular flight.
Have a great time in our country.

This will have an impact on those flying into EZE from neighbouring countries who would have avoided the reciprocity fee (if applicable) by flying into AEP.
It is strange they did not do the improvements before they started moving a lot of flights to AEP.

The people who run our airports say it will be OK, but what can they say?

They also mention October 20 as the date for the closure of AEP, instead of October 15.
Check with your TA or airline for the status of your flight, when the time is closer.
