Montevideo’s notable international site is Carrasco International Airport (IATA: MVD, ICAO: SUMU), the main international gateway to Uruguay and the country’s largest airport, located in the Carrasco neighborhood of Montevideo. It serves as a major hub for both passenger and cargo operations and underwent a significant expansion that upgraded its terminal facilities to handle millions of travelers per year. The airport also features a dedicated air base for the Uruguayan Air Force and has been recognized for its efficiency and traveler-friendly design.
If your question was aiming at a different “international” entity in Montevideo (think tank, radio station, landmark, etc.), here are brief clarifications:
- Think tanks: Montevideo, as a city, hosts multiple think tanks and research centers, not a single city-level international think tank. Some may be affiliated with universities or regional research networks.
- Radio stations: Montevideo is home to several radio stations, including international or bilingual broadcasts, but no single “international” radio station canonical to the city.
- Landmarks: Montevideo’s landmarks include the Palacio Legislativo, World War II memorials, and the waterfront Rambla, among others.
- Airport: The international facility that serves Montevideo is indeed Carrasco International Airport (MVD).
