Small regional airport serving Chile's southern Chiloé archipelago.

Location
Quellon, Chile
Quellón Airport (ICAO: SCON) is a small general aviation and regional airport located near Quellón, the southernmost city on Chiloé Island in southern Chile. It serves as a minor air access point for a community more commonly reached by road and ferry connections. The airport handles light aircraft and occasional charter or regional flights, given the limited demand in this remote area. Quellón itself is a fishing and aquaculture hub, and the airport supports connectivity for the local economy and emergency services. Due to its small scale and limited scheduled services, the airport does not carry an IATA code and does not operate as a commercial hub. It remains primarily a facility for general aviation and potentially government or emergency operations.
Getting to & from
The airport is accessible by road from the town of Quellón, which is also served by bus and ferry connections within Chiloé Island.

Gateway to Chiloé's southern wilderness at the edge of Patagonia

Quellón Airport serves the southernmost city of Chiloé Island in Chilean Patagonia, a region defined by its rugged fjords, ancient forests, and indigenous Huilliche heritage. The small airfield supports light aviation and regional connectivity for a community otherwise reliant on ferry routes across the Golfo de Corcovado. It plays a modest but meaningful role in linking this remote fishing port to the broader Chilean transport network.

Dining

The airport terminal itself offers minimal or no food service given its very small scale. Quellón town, a short drive away, features local restaurants serving fresh seafood including centolla crab and traditional Chiloé curanto stew. Visitors are advised to dine in town before departing, as onboard catering on light aircraft is typically not available.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight directly with the operator as schedules on this route are subject to weather and demand changes.
  • Carry Chilean pesos in cash, as card payment infrastructure may be limited at this remote terminal.
  • Quellón is the departure point for ferry services to Chaitén and Puerto Montt — factor this into multi-modal travel plans.
  • Weather in southern Chiloé changes rapidly; pack waterproof layers regardless of the season.
