The renovated Jorge Newbery Airport reopenedó its operations with renewed Landing track, international terminal and with improvements in its technological systemsólogic.
Más allá of the improvements to its landing strip, new navigation equipment is incorporatedón aéarea and observationón meteorolólogic that contributes to raising the categoryífrom the airport, for greater flight efficiency and reliability.

Which is by passengers transported the más important of Argentina with más de 12 million passengers to 2019, inauguratedó several reforms carried out with the aim of improving its operation and capacity on the landing strip.

Hi Nico. The A330 still cannot operate in Aeroparque, there is no place on the platform but if they could already use the track. In a future expansion of the platform they could operate but only within the country. Regional flights from/to AEP have aircraft limitations of less than 200 seating.
great john, Thank you very much for the information.
Indeed, the airport was renovated quite well. They said that with the extension of the runway the Airbus A330-200 of Aerolineas Argentinas could operate, However, the runway does not yet have the capacity to receive these aircraft due to their weight, but in the future it will be possible according to what I read in an article..
from what i read, can now operate an A330, they even say until 380, but they must do the procedures, painting of signs and other arrangements so that the plane can "turn" at the end of the runway.
