At least 41 flights will be delayed on Friday as Buenos Aires’ Ministro Pistarini international airport — better known for its location in Ezeiza — is set to shut down for four hours, for scheduled maintenance work. Most flights affected are domestic and short-haul international connections, so some specific operations will be transferred to Jorge Newbery Airport, Buenos Aires’ main domestic terminal. ANAC recommended passengers check the status of their flights and contact their respective airlines if they have any questions or concerns about possible changes. The announcement of the repairs comes after metropolitan airport Jorge Newbery unexpectedly suspended flights from the terminal for several hours in the last week of December, as temperatures exceeding 35° celsius saw a patch of the landing strip come loose. At the time, over 60 flights were delayed or diverted.
