Buenos Aires has two airports: Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) and Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE). AEP is closer to the city center (less than 30 minutes by car) and serves mostly domestic flights and some regional flights, while EZE is further (around 1 hour by car), but it's the main international airport with connections to many destinations in South America, Europe, and North America.
