Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE) in Ezeiza, south-west of Buenos Aires, handles most of Argentina's international air cargo through its cargo terminal, Terminal de Cargas Argentina. Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), on the riverfront in the city, serves domestic and regional flights. By sea, the Port of Buenos Aires, with its container terminals at Puerto Nuevo, and Dock Sud in neighbouring Avellaneda handle most container traffic, while Zárate, up the Paraná river, handles vehicles and containers for the industrial north of the metropolitan area.
The Riccheri motorway and the Ezeiza–Cañuelas motorway link the city with EZE, while the Panamericana (RN9) runs north to Pacheco, Campana, Zárate and on to Rosario. The Buenos Aires–La Plata motorway serves the south-east, and the General Paz avenue rings the capital. National routes 3, 5 and 7 lead into the interior. We arrange pick-up and delivery across the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, including Pacheco, Pilar, Campana and Zárate.
