Corrientes International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Corrientes - Doctor Fernando Piragine Niveyro) (IATA: CNQ, ICAO: SARC) is an airport in Corrientes Province, Argentina serving the city of Corrientes, built in 1961 while the terminal was completed in 1964. It is also known as Aeropuerto de Corrientes Camba Puntá. It is usual to fly from Corrientes and return to Resistencia, because both airports are really close to each other. The same happens with Sauce Viejo Airport (SFN - in Santa Fe City) and General Justo José de Urquiza Airport (PRA - in Paraná, Entre Ríos), which are 19km one from the other.
It has a 1,400m² passenger terminal. There are plans to rebuild it (terminal and Runway) in 2008-2010. The Airport will be closed all that time, and flights will be sent to Resistencia International Airport, in Resistencia, Chaco, which is just 16km East.
