EZE Airport Transfer | Ezeiza International Buenos Aires

Ministro Pistarini International Airport (IATA: EZE), known as Ezeiza, is Buenos Aires' main international airport and the primary entry point to Argentina. It is 35 kilometres southwest of central Buenos Aires along the Autopista Ricchieri — a journey of 40–70 minutes depending on traffic. The airport has two main terminals: Terminal A and Terminal B, both handling international arrivals. The official pre-paid taxi counters (Taxi Ezeiza, Manuel Tienda León) are inside the arrivals hall; unlicensed operators work the exit doors and should be avoided. A LocalsRide driver meets you at the official meet-and-greet area inside the arrivals hall with a name sign.
