## Description

While Antofagasta's copper and nitrate riches leave Chile by sea, Andrés Sabella Gálvez (ANF) handles the lighter, faster end of the region's freight. The airport lies about ten kilometres north of the city and three kilometres from the Pacific coast, in one of the world's leading mining districts. Air cargo centres on time-critical spare parts for the mines and on belly capacity aboard scheduled flights, with ground handling provided by operators including Menzies Aviation. A single runway of roughly 2,600 metres, being extended towards 2,800, accommodates A320-family jets and occasional widebodies. Bulk mineral exports move through the seaports of Antofagasta and Mejillones, so the airport complements rather than replaces maritime logistics.
