Airports in Chile

16 airports with IATA codes · 89 routes total

This directory lists every IATA-coded airport in Chile recorded in the OpenFlights dataset, with city, exact latitude/longitude, the count of unique destinations served, and one-click flight-distance tools to anywhere in the world. The range spans from major international hubs serving hundreds of distinct destinations down to small regional and local airports serving a handful of short-haul links — 16 Chile airports in total.

The three most-connected airports in Chile by scheduled-route count are Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL), Andrés Sabella Gálvez International Airport (ANF), and Diego Aracena Airport (IQQ), together accounting for 50 of the 89 unique source-airport → destination pairs from Chile in the dataset. On the map above, pins 1 – 5 mark the top hubs; small dots are every other listed airport. Click any pin or card for full details — IATA + ICAO codes, elevation, timezone, airlines operating there, popular routes, and nearby alternative airports.

About flying via Chile

Distances between any two airports — within Chile or to anywhere else in the world — are computed on this site with the Vincenty geodesic formula, which models Earth's oblate-spheroid shape (WGS-84) and converges to within roughly 0.5 mm. Flight times are estimated against typical aircraft cruise speeds for each distance band (short, medium, long, and ultra-long-haul); they are first-order approximations, not Air Traffic Control flight-plan times, and exclude taxi, holding, and routing detours. CO₂ emissions use the UK DEFRA 2024 conversion factors for business travel by air, broken down by economy, premium economy, business, and first class, including the radiative-forcing uplift.

Click any airport in the directory above to open its detail page — exact coordinates, elevation, time zone, operating airlines, scheduled destinations, and nearby alternative airports, plus an embedded distance calculator. Note that this dataset is a snapshot: schedules change frequently, so always confirm current operations with the airline or the airport's own website before booking or planning.

Frequently asked questions about airports in Chile

How many airports are in Chile?
Chile has 16 airports with active IATA codes listed in our database (sourced from OpenFlights) — all of them with scheduled commercial routes.
What is the largest airport in Chile?
By scheduled-route count in the OpenFlights dataset, Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL) in Santiago is the most-connected airport in Chile, serving 40 unique destinations. “Largest” can also be measured by passenger throughput or aircraft movements, which are not in this dataset — for those metrics, see the airport's published annual report or the ACI World traffic rankings.
What are the main IATA codes for airports in Chile?
The most-connected airports in Chile by scheduled-route count use these IATA codes: SCL, ANF, IQQ, PMC, ARI. The complete list of 16 IATA codes is in the airport directory grid above.
Can I calculate the distance between any two Chile airports?
Yes — use the distance calculator and enter any two IATA codes (for example, SCLANF) to get geodesic distance in miles, kilometers, and nautical miles, plus flight time and CO₂ estimates by cabin class.
How accurate are the Chile airport coordinates and distances?
Airport coordinates come from the OpenFlights airports.dat dataset, a community-contributed reference cross-checked against official AIPs and ICAO codes. Distances between any two airports are computed in-app with the Vincenty geodesic formula on the WGS-84 reference ellipsoid, converging to within roughly 0.5 mm — well below any practical flight-planning tolerance. For independent verification of coordinates, see ourairports.org or the airport's official Aeronautical Information Publication.
How many flight routes operate from Chile airports?
Across all Chile airports in our database, there are 89 scheduled commercial routes to destinations worldwide (sum of all unique source-airport → destination pairs).
