aeródromo

airfield

noun ah-eh-ROH-droh-moh Rare

Origin: From Greek aēr ('air') + dromos ('running track').

Also means

aerodrome

Usage Note

Aeródromo is a small or secondary airfield — less equipped than an aeropuerto (international airport). Spanish aviation authorities use both terms precisely: an aeródromo may lack commercial scheduled services. Note the stress on the third syllable (esdrújula): ae-RÓ-dro-mo.

Examples

"El aeródromo local solo opera vuelos privados."

Natural Translation

The local airfield only operates private flights.
