## Description

Twelve minutes is all it takes: Aerovías DAP links Punta Arenas with Capitán Fuentes Martínez Aerodrome (WPR/SCFM) at Porvenir across the Strait of Magellan, five days a week. The field serves Chile's Tierra del Fuego province and also handles non-scheduled AeroTac movements, club flying and military traffic. That link is essential for a province of only a few thousand inhabitants, but it carries no weight in air freight: there is no cargo terminal, no freighter service and no customs clearance on site, and consignments are limited to small belly loads on the short feeder flights. Goods bound for the Chilean side of Tierra del Fuego therefore travel almost entirely by ferry across the strait or overland through Argentina. The nearest fully equipped airport is Presidente Carlos Ibáñez del Campo at Punta Arenas (PUQ), the regional gateway for Magallanes, while international air cargo for Chile is cleared at Santiago (SCL) and forwarded south from there.
