The airport is along the western shore of Ushuaia Bay, a harbor on the northern coast of the Beagle Channel.

The Aeroclub previously served as Ushuaia's main airport before the opening of Ushuaia – Malvinas Argentinas International Airport in 1995, whose east-west runway is only 1.6 kilometres (1 mi) directly south of the Aeroclub runway.

A video has gone viral of a Aerolineas Argentinas Boeing 737-200 attempting to land at the airport.

The Ushuaia VOR (Ident: USU) is located 1.2 nautical miles (2 km) southeast of the airport.

The Puerto Williams VOR-DME (Ident: PWL) is located 24.5 nautical miles (45 km) east-southeast of the Aeroclub Airport.
