## Description

Cargo capability at Chile Chico Airport (CCH/SCCC) in Chile's Aysén region is effectively ruled out by design: the asphalt runway measures 1,200 by 23 metres and is laid out for aircraft carrying up to fifteen passengers, staffed by three aeronautical employees. The field belongs to the DGAC network of small public aerodromes, lies seven kilometres south-east of the town, and is approved for non-scheduled commercial flights, private flying, ambulance, police, sporting and club operations plus occasional military and aerial work — with no cargo terminal and no freighter activity. Aerocord, based in Puerto Montt, resumed the Coyhaique (GXQ) to Chile Chico route on 13 August 2021 after sixteen years, using a seven-seat Piper Navajo, though whether the service still runs in 2026 is unconfirmed, as are on-site customs facilities and current passenger figures. On the ground, Ruta 265 follows Lago General Carrera, a ferry connects to Puerto Ibáñez towards Coyhaique, and the border crossing to Los Antiguos in Argentina sits close by — a far more reliable path for goods than the air. Regionally, Balmaceda (BBA) is being rebuilt, its terminal growing from 2,400 to 12,391 square metres with five air bridges; construction stood at roughly 20 percent in April 2025 with commissioning targeted for 2027. Balmaceda (BBA) and Coyhaique Teniente Vidal (GXQ) are therefore the practical air freight points for the region.
