Teniente General Benjamín Matienzo International Airport

Teniente Benjamín Matienzo International Airport (IATA: TUC, ICAO: SANT) is an international airport 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) east of the city of San Miguel de Tucumán in Argentina.

The airport is named in honor of Benjamín Matienzo [es][4][5] who died in the first attempt to fly over the Andes to Chile.

The main bus station uses parts of the apron of the airport, while the Music School from the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán uses the former passenger terminal.

[citation needed] On 9 April 2013, the runway designation changed from 01/19 to 02/20 due to magnetic variation.

Most cargo flights are scheduled between September and November, taking fresh fruit to Europe and the United States.
