El Palomar Airport (IATA: EPA, ICAO: SADP) is a commercial and military airport in El Palomar, Argentina. It is the home base for the 1st Air Brigade (Spanish: Primera Brigada Aérea) of the Argentine Air Force, which is mainly a transportation unit. It is located 18 km (11 mi) west of Buenos Aires, near the El Palomar station of the San Martín railway line. It was created in 1912 to accommodate the Army Aviation School, which was the base for the future Argentine Air Force. Commercial flights in and out of El Palomar were stopped in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2022, commercial flight facilities at El Palomar were reportedly being dismantled and moved to Ezeiza International Airport, limiting hopes that commercial flights would return to El Palomar.
