History

The airport is named after Juan Pistarini, Minister of Public Works during the presidency of Juan Perón, who placed the cornerstone of the project on 22 December 1945. It was designed and erected by Argentine technicians. Its construction, which took four years to be completed, was one of the major projects in the five-year plan of the first presidency of Juan Perón. The airport was inaugurated on 30 April 1949. When it opened it was the third-largest airport in the world. A 1949 diagram shows three runways crossing at 60-degree angles: 9,353 feet (2,851 m) runway 10/28, 7,220 feet (2,200 m) 4/22 and 6,892 feet (2,101 m) 16/34. The Ezeiza massacre took place near the airport in 1973.
