Jorge Newbery Airfield (, ) is located in Palermo neighbourhood, northeast of downtown Buenos Aires, Argentina.〔 The airport covers an area of and is operated by ''Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 S.A.''〔 It is located in the Palermo ward, along the Río de la Plata, and serves as the main hub for domestic flights from Buenos Aires as well as to Uruguay, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay. The airport is named in honor of Argentine aviator Jorge Newbery. The Argentine Air Force Station located on the eastern end of the airport is where authorities normally board the Tango 01 presidential aircraft. Newbery Airfield is roughly equal to Ezeiza International Airport (located to the south) in airline traffic among the nation's 33 airports, handling 93,346 aircraft movements in 2009 and serving 10,255,541 passengers in 2014 (one third of all scheduled air traffic in Argentina, the first Argentine airport to pass the 10 million passenger mark in history); it thus surpassed Ezeiza International in 2013 as the nation's busiest airport by passenger traffic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aumento del 4.4 por ciento en el tráfico de pasajeros en 2013 )〕 ==History== The airport was originally proposed by Mayor Carlos Noël in 1925.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aeroparque Jorge Newbery )〕 A number of feasibility studies and zoning disputes followed. In 1938, plans were submitted for an island airport connected via causeway to Avenida General Paz (then under construction).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aeroparque no se muda, aunque sí se modifica )〕 A former wetland reclaimed in 1916 from the Río de la Plata and closer to downtown was selected instead, and the facility, designed by Aeronatics Secretariat engineer Víctor Acuña in 1945, was inaugurated in 1947 as ''Aeroparque 17 de Octubre'' (17 October Airfield).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Un moderno aeropuerto a 15 minutos del centro )〕 Initially served by a runway, it began operations in January 1948 as the main hub for domestic flights from Buenos Aires as well as flights to Uruguay. Its first terminal was completed in 1951, by which time the runway was extended to . The airport was renamed following the 1955 coup against President Juan Perón in honor of the pioneer of Argentine aviation, Jorge Newbery, and was re-inaugurated in 1960 following work that expanded its main runway to and added a new terminal.〔 The Argentine Air Force had a small base built near the eastern end of the airport in 1965;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fuerza Aérea: Guarniciones y unidades )〕 it was at this site that President Isabel Perón was formally deposed by the military in the March 1976 coup. A new terminal for national air carrier Aerolíneas Argentinas was inaugurated in 1981, expanding total terminal area to 30,000 m² (323,000 ft²).〔 Plans to merge Newbery with Ezeiza International Airport in a new facility located on an artificial island were revived in 1996 by a commission headed by Congressman Álvaro Alsogaray, though these plans were ultimately dropped.〔 Its operations, like those of all the nation's public airports, were privatized in 1998 and transferred to ''Aeropuertos Argentina 2000'' (part of the conglomerate owned by local businessman Eduardo Eurnekian).〔 The runway was further extended by in 2007,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Avanza con demoras el plan para ampliar la pista de Aeroparque )〕 and work began in 2009 to create greater distance between the nearby Rafael Obligado Coast Highway and the eastern end of the runway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=No avanza la extensión de la autopista Illia hacia el Norte )〕 Routes were added in March 2010 to destinations in Brazil, Chile, and Paraguay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ya operan desde Aeroparque los vuelos a países limítrofes )〕 Work began in 2011 on Terminals III and IV, totaling 35,000 m² (377,000 ft²).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nuevas obras en el Aeroparque Jorge Newbery )〕 These terminals were inaugurated in March 2014, effectively doubling the airport's passenger capacity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cristina destacó la transformación del aeroparque "desde que se incremento la economía y el turismo )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aeroparque Jorge Newbery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
