The Aeropuerto Internacional Ingeniero Taravella is the airport of the Argentine city ​​of Córdoba . It is also called Pajas Blancas because it is located near a town of the same name, which is about 15 km north of Córdoba itself.

Since its expansion in April 2006, the airport has two terminals, but only one of them is used. With almost three and a half million passengers per year (2019), it is the third most important airport in Argentina after the two airports in the city of Buenos Aires ( Ezeiza and Aeroparque Jorge Newbery ). Before the Argentina crisis , the airport was the hub of the now no longer operating airline Southern Winds . Then there was a brief drop in the number of passengers.

Connections exist to several cities in Argentina as well as Panama , Uruguay , Brazil and Chile , but the number of destinations is far fewer today than before the Argentina crisis . Since the airport was expanded in 2006, there have been plans to transform the airport into a regional hub for northwest Argentina and also to take up flights to North America and Europe to relieve the Ezeiza airport in Buenos Aires. A direct flight to Madrid was set up in 2010, and from October of that year there will be three connections a week. In January 2012 the connection to Madrid was discontinued. Since the liquidation of the airline Pluna by the Uruguayan government in July 2012, there are no more flights to and from Montevideo . In 2020 some additional international lines will be offered again, including to Spain , Peru and the Dominican Republic .

In recent years the airport has been expanded and modernized again and again in order to cope with the high passenger numbers. A new tower was put into operation in 2015, and runway 18/36 was renewed in 2018.
