## Description

At 54 degrees south, Guardia Marina Zañartu (WPU) on Navarino Island ranks as the southernmost airport in the world served by scheduled flights. A single carrier, Aerovías DAP, links it to Punta Arenas (PUQ) six days a week, a 45-minute hop of roughly 300 kilometres. The airport has no dedicated cargo facilities; Puerto Williams is resupplied mainly by sea along the Beagle Channel, with air freight limited to belly space on the DAP flight. Forwarders consolidate shipments in Punta Arenas, the genuine cargo reference point for the Magallanes region, before onward carriage to Santiago. Its value to logistics lies in access to Cape Horn and Antarctic expedition traffic rather than tonnage.
