## Description

Some 250 kilometres north of Punta Arenas, Lieutenant Julio Gallardo Airport (PNT) opens the door to Torres del Paine National Park. Traffic is seasonal and tourism-driven: LATAM and JetSmart serve the Santiago route through the southern summer, while scheduled service largely pauses in winter. The field has no dedicated freight infrastructure; shipments for the Magallanes region travel as belly cargo on passenger flights or through the larger airport at Punta Arenas (PUQ). For planned air freight, Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez in Santiago (SCL) remains the relevant gateway. Anyone costing Patagonian logistics combines air and road transport along Ruta 9.
