Tydeo Larre Borges International Airport (IATA: PDU, ICAO:SUPU) is located in the the city of Paysandu, Uruguay.
Airport Overview
Tydeo Larre Borges International Airport(PDU,ICAO: SUPU)is located in Paysandú, western Uruguay, near the Uruguay River and the Argentine border. The supplied airport record places it at approximately 32.3633° south, 58.0619° west, in the UTC−03:00 time zone. Although its official name includes “International Airport,” the available operating profile identifies it as a regional aerodrome rather than a scheduled international cargo hub: the supplied record shows no listed airline or express-cargo services. Our service team therefore treats it primarily as a local or ad-hoc airfreight option, subject to prior confirmation of aircraft availability, handling arrangements, customs status, operating hours and acceptance capability. For regular international cargo, we normally compare this airport with larger Uruguayan gateways and cross-border road-air routings before confirming the transport plan.

Key Highlights
Cargo Facilities & Services
Facility availability at Tydeo Larre Borges International Airport must be verified shipment by shipment. Our service team does not assume the presence of dedicated cargo infrastructure merely from the airport’s international designation.
- Air cargo terminal: Confirm whether a cargo agent, ramp handler or aircraft operator is appointed for the proposed movement; loose-cargo acceptance may be unavailable.
- Customs and security: Establish whether export or import customs processing can be performed at the airport, or whether cargo must be processed through another approved customs location.
- Temperature control: Do not assume refrigerated rooms, pharma handling or validated temperature monitoring. Perishable and healthcare cargo should be routed through a confirmed cold-chain facility unless written acceptance is obtained.
- Dangerous goods: Acceptance depends on an appropriately qualified operator, packaging inspection, declaration review and aircraft-specific limitations. Prior approval is required.
- Special cargo: Live animals, valuables, oversized pieces and aircraft-on-ground shipments require advance handling plans, equipment confirmation and security approval.
Routes & Transit Times
- International routing: The airport should not be presented as having fixed scheduled cargo routes. Our team checks whether a charter, repositioning flight, private aircraft or other approved movement can legally and operationally accept the shipment.
- Gateway connection: For routine export and import cargo, a larger Uruguayan gateway may provide more dependable airline schedules, screening, customs brokerage and warehouse handover, followed by domestic road transport to Paysandú.
- Cross-border alternative: Shipments connected with western Uruguay or nearby Argentina may require a road-air or road-only solution. Border procedures, vehicle permits, customs transit and receiving-party readiness can materially affect the overall transit time.
- Timing control: Transit time is determined only after confirmation of aircraft availability, terminal acceptance, customs routing, security screening, weather, crew restrictions and the final delivery address.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
Our service team considers Paysandú and the surrounding western Uruguay region as the practical collection and delivery market. Cargo suitability depends more on the confirmed transport chain than on the airport name.
Operations & Compliance
- Booking and cut-off: There is no standard public cargo cut-off to assume. Our team obtains a written acceptance time from the actual operator and builds in time for screening, handling and customs review.
- Documents: Prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill instructions, export or import declarations, permits and consignee details before tender. The exact document set follows the commodity and customs route.
- Dangerous goods and controlled commodities: Provide the UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, quantity and shipper’s declaration where applicable. Batteries, chemicals, biological materials and aerosols require advance airline approval.
- Collection and delivery: Confirm vehicle access, loading equipment, security release procedure, consignee identification and whether cargo must be collected from another customs-controlled facility. Final-mile arrangements are not automatically included in airport handling.
Shipping Tips
- Send our service team the commodity description, dimensions, gross weight, package count, value, origin, destination and requested delivery date before asking for a PDU option.
- Request operational confirmation before production packing: aircraft type, payload limits, ramp handling, security screening, customs location, acceptance window and permitted packaging must all be checked.
- Use robust, stackable export packaging with clear piece identification and gross-weight markings. For temperature-sensitive goods, include the required packaging qualification and temperature-monitoring plan.
- Keep a gateway-based road-air solution as a contingency. For urgent shipments, compare total door-to-door time and customs risk rather than comparing airport-to-airport flight time alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Tydeo Larre Borges International Airport handle regular international air cargo?
It should not be assumed. Our team first verifies an active cargo-capable operator, aircraft availability, handling arrangements, customs routing and security acceptance. If these cannot be confirmed, we propose a larger gateway or road-air alternative.
Does the airport have a standard cargo cut-off time?
No universal cut-off should be used for quotation or booking purposes. The applicable tender deadline depends on the actual flight, operator, handler and customs process and must be confirmed in writing.
Can pharmaceuticals or frozen products be shipped through this airport?
Only after confirmation of cold-chain equipment, acceptance responsibility, temperature limits, security controls and customs procedures. Without that confirmation, our team normally recommends a gateway with established temperature-controlled handling.
Can dangerous goods, lithium batteries or chemicals be accepted?
Acceptance is shipment- and aircraft-specific. Complete classification and packing information must be submitted before booking; an airline or qualified operator may reject the shipment even when the documents are complete.
What is the most reliable option for routine commercial cargo to Paysandú?
Our service team compares a confirmed gateway service with domestic road delivery against any directly available movement from Tydeo Larre Borges International Airport. The preferred option depends on origin, cargo characteristics, customs responsibility and required delivery date.
Data Sources & Provenance
Airport identity, codes, coordinates, city, country and time zone in this module are taken from the supplied airport record. Operational statements are deliberately qualified because cargo schedules, handlers, customs arrangements, equipment and acceptance rules can change and require shipment-specific confirmation.
For regulatory and operational verification, our service team consults the relevant Uruguayan aviation and customs authorities, including dinacia.gub.uy and aduanas.gub.uy. These domains are provided as authority-level reference points; the final booking decision remains subject to current operator, customs and handling confirmation.
