The tables are easily removable and the chairs are stackable in order to customize the room depending on the type of event you wish to hold. Crockery (plates, glasses and cutlery) is included in the rent.
The quincho has a large garden so that your event is not limited to the walls of the hall. It also has a large outdoor lighted parking lot.
In compliance with safety standards, the quincho has fire extinguishers and two emergency exits, in addition to the main access. Both exits are clearly marked with signs.
Pilots' Lounge
The Pilots’ Lounge is the epicenter of Aeroclub Ushuaia. It is here where the members of our Aeroclub meet every day, and where we receive other pilots or aeronautics lovers who visit us.
The Pilots’ Lounge is divided into two parts: on the one hand, the rest area, equipped with armchairs and tables. On the other hand, there is the operational part: here there are three workstations with internet connection, cable TV, aeronautical radio station, full kitchen, table and chairs, and finally a large library with aeronautical material.
Whether you want to plan a flight (study the route, analyze the weather, etc.), or simply spend an afternoon among colleagues, the Pilots’ Lounge is the right place in our Aeroclub.
