Laguna de Los Patos International Airport (IATA: CYR, ICAO:SUCA) is located in the the city of Colonia Del Sacramento, Uruguay.
Airport Overview
Laguna de Los Patos International Airport(CYR), ICAO identifier SUCA, is associated with Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay. For international freight planning, it should be treated as a regional access point rather than an established cargo hub: the supplied airport record contains no recorded airline or express-service count, and no cargo-terminal, cold-chain, bonded-storage or regular freighter capability is stated. The airport’s practical value is therefore dependent on prior confirmation of operating status, customs availability, handling arrangements, aircraft acceptance and onward ground transport. Our service team can use it as a potential local routing option only after validating the shipment date, aircraft movement, handling agent and border formalities. Where those conditions cannot be secured, we will compare gateway alternatives serving the wider Colonia–Buenos Aires logistics area.

Key Highlights
Cargo Facilities & Services
- General cargo handling: A dedicated cargo terminal, cargo acceptance counter, warehouse capacity and ground-support equipment are not assumed. Our service team will obtain written confirmation from the airport operator or appointed handler.
- Temperature-controlled shipments: Do not route pharmaceuticals, perishables or other time- and temperature-sensitive cargo without confirming cool-room availability, transfer limits, monitoring responsibility and contingency storage.
- Dangerous goods: Acceptance depends on an approved handling arrangement, trained personnel, aircraft capability and the applicable operator’s dangerous-goods procedures. A booking request alone does not establish acceptance.
- Customs and bonded handling: The availability of an on-airport customs-controlled warehouse, bonded transfer or import examination facility must be checked for the specific movement.
- Special cargo: Live animals, outsized pieces, valuables and vulnerable cargo require advance approval, suitable equipment and a named responsible handler; these services should not be presumed from the airport’s “International” designation.
Routes & Transit Times
- Likely planning pattern: Any international cargo movement may require a confirmed charter, ad-hoc aircraft movement or trucking connection to a larger gateway; no regular airline, freighter route or frequency is stated in the supplied data.
- Regional connectivity: For cargo linked to Argentina, Brazil, Europe, North America or Asia, our team will compare air-only and air-road routings through operationally supported gateways. The selected gateway depends on cargo profile, customs route and available uplift.
- Transit-time controls: Actual timing is driven by booking confirmation, aircraft availability, customs opening, handling acceptance, border procedures, road permits and weather. We provide a firm transit estimate only after these elements are validated.
- Connection risk: A self-transfer between airport handling and road transport should not be planned without confirming custody handover, security controls, documentation matching and liability allocation.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Primary local market: Colonia del Sacramento and surrounding Colonia Department are the immediate commercial catchment area; final delivery planning should account for the road leg beyond the airport.
- Potential cargo profile: Regional commercial replenishment, urgent industrial parts, small consolidated consignments, documents and project-related materials may be considered when uplift and handling are confirmed.
- Controlled cargo: Food products, chilled goods, pharmaceuticals and biological materials require commodity-specific import permissions, temperature controls and documented custody throughout the route.
- High-value and time-critical freight: Electronics, samples and service parts should be booked with tamper-evident packaging, security arrangements and a confirmed consignee handover plan.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-off and acceptance: No universal cargo cut-off should be applied. The actual tender deadline must be obtained from the confirmed handler and may be earlier for dangerous goods, perishables, live animals or charter cargo.
- Documentation: Prepare the air waybill or transport document, commercial invoice, packing list, export declaration, permits and certificates required by the commodity and origin/destination authorities. Names, pieces, weights and dimensions must match across documents.
- Dangerous goods and restricted articles: Classification, packing, marking, labelling and shipper’s declaration requirements must be completed under the applicable current air-transport rules before acceptance is requested.
- Customs and delivery: Confirm whether clearance occurs at the airport or through another designated location, who files the declaration, where examination takes place and whether the consignee can receive cargo immediately after release.
Shipping Tips
- Send our service team the commodity, HS classification, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, stackability, temperature range and required delivery date before requesting a quotation.
- Request written confirmation of aircraft movement, cargo acceptance, handling agent, customs availability, terminal handover and road-transfer responsibility before cargo is collected.
- Use export-grade packaging with clear piece marks, waterproof documents and a packing list placed both inside and outside the shipment. For temperature-sensitive goods, agree the packaging qualification and data-logging plan in advance.
- Keep a gateway alternative available. If local uplift, customs attendance or special handling cannot be confirmed, our team will re-cost a supported regional gateway instead of dispatching cargo on an unverified assumption.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Laguna de Los Patos International Airport be used for international air freight?
Its name indicates an international designation, but that does not by itself confirm current cargo acceptance, customs staffing or scheduled international uplift. Our team verifies the specific movement before booking.
Are regular cargo flights or express services available?
The supplied record shows zero recorded airline and express-service counts. We therefore do not promise a regular cargo schedule and will check current operating information and any available charter or connecting option.
Can temperature-controlled or dangerous-goods cargo be tendered there?
Only after the responsible handler confirms the required equipment, trained staff, aircraft acceptance and storage or transfer procedure. Pharmaceuticals, perishables and dangerous goods should not be delivered before that confirmation.
What is the airport cut-off time?
There is no safe universal cut-off for this airport. The applicable deadline depends on the confirmed movement, handler, cargo class and customs process, and will be supplied after operational confirmation.
What should we do if direct uplift cannot be confirmed?
Our service team will compare an alternative regional gateway with the required road leg, customs route, handling capability, total transit time and landed logistics cost before recommending dispatch.
