## Description

Although Arica is a busy gateway for cargo, that traffic flows through its seaport and the Pan-American Highway rather than Chacalluta Airport (ARI). Sitting at Chile's far northern tip, just kilometres from the Peruvian border, the airport mainly handles domestic flights to Santiago and regional cross-border travel. Its seaport notably handles transit freight for landlocked Bolivia, but the airport has no dedicated cargo terminal. Airfreight is limited to belly capacity, with larger shipments routed via Santiago (SCL).
