Remote Patagonian airstrip serving the isolated Puerto Cisnes community.

Location
Puerto Cisnes, Chile
Puerto Cisnes Airport (ICAO: SCPK) is a small regional airstrip located in Puerto Cisnes, a coastal town in the Aysén Region of southern Chile. The airport provides essential air connectivity for a community that is difficult to reach by road, given the rugged Patagonian terrain and limited overland infrastructure in the area. The airport handles light aircraft and small regional flights, serving primarily as a lifeline for local residents, government services, and emergency transport. Given its remote location along the Aysén fjord system, air travel is often the most practical means of reaching Puerto Cisnes from larger centers such as Coyhaique.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight the day before, as schedules in remote Patagonia are subject to weather-related changes.

  • Arrange ground transport in advance as taxis are scarce and not always waiting at the airport.
  • Pack layers regardless of season — Patagonian weather can change rapidly and unexpectedly.
