Where it sits
34.8°S, 58.5°W puts EZE in the southern hemisphere, 3,872 km from the equator and 6,135 km from the South pole.
Of the 661 airports on this site it is the 637th most northerly, which makes it the 25th most southerly.
Straight through the middle
Straight down through the centre of the Earth comes out at 34.8°N, 121.5°E — 212 km from Qingdao Jiaodong (TAO) in China, which is about as close to a true antipodal airport pair as this table gets.
What’s near it
The closest other airport on this site is Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), 31 km away in a straight line. It is the only one within 100 km.
Where these facts come from
The profile is looked up, not written from memory: type, runways, elevation and the official website from OurAirports (public domain); opening year, namesake, operator and passenger count from Wikidata (CC0); the city centre from GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). Where a source has nothing, the line is left out. Distances, neighbours and the antipode are computed from the coordinates.
What you won’t find: terminal maps, airline lists, shops or live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that guessed at those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
