Ambrosio L V Taravella Airport (COR) Information

Where is Ambrosio L V Taravella Airport?
COR Ambrosio L V Taravella Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional de Cordoba "Ingeniero Aeronáutico Ambrosio L.V. Taravella") (IATA: COR, ICAO: SACO), known as Pajas Blancas, is located 9 kilometres (5.6 miles) north-northwest of the centre of Córdoba, a city in the Córdoba Province of Argentina. The airport covers an area of 1,020 ha (2,520 acres) and is operated by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 S.A. It is the nation's third largest airport, after Ministro Pistarini International Airport and Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, both in Buenos Aires.

COR Ambrosio L V Taravella Airport had been a jetport for a long time, but it had been lacking the size to receive larger numbers of passengers until Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, a private company that operates several airports in Argentina, decided to give internal Argentine airports more money so that they could expand and lure more airlines. Up until that moment, the Taravella airport, which was named after an architect, only had one story and one terminal.

Building of a second and third floor began in 2000, designed by prominent local architect Mario Roberto Álvarez; by 2002 it was finished and Aerolíneas Argentinas decided to make the Taravella airport a hub for domestic flights.

The COR Ambrosio L V Taravella Airport is equipped with the necessary lights to have night air traffic, but pilots flying there, especially pilots of light aircraft, are recommended to look out for birds, as there is quite a substantial number of birds inhabiting the areas nearby.
