About Gobernador Gregores Airport
Gobernador Gregores Airport (GGS), also known in Argentina as Aeropuerto Néstor Carlos Kirchner, is a small regional airport serving the town of Gobernador Gregores in central Santa Cruz Province, Patagonia. It operates domestic flights, primarily through LADE (Líneas Aéreas del Estado), connecting the town with regional destinations such as Comodoro Rivadavia, El Calafate, Puerto San Julián and Puerto Santa Cruz.
Located about 7 km east of the town centre, the airport sits in the Patagonian steppe near the junction of Ruta Nacional 40 and local provincial roads. Its single compact terminal handles a limited schedule of domestic services, and the airport has long centred on one runway; current operations are carried out on a shorter unpaved surface while the original paved runway is assessed for rehabilitation.
As a small gateway, the airport mainly supports regional connectivity and travellers moving through remote central Patagonia. It offers a practical arrival point for journeys toward El Calafate, Perito Moreno and natural attractions including Cueva de las Manos and the surrounding steppe landscapes.
Onward travel is normally arranged by taxi, private transfer or rental car, with the town a short drive away. Facilities at the terminal are basic, so visitors are advised to plan transfers and supplies in advance, especially outside the limited flight schedule.
