Where Flights from Puerto Natales Connect To
PNT is a domestic airport only — there are no scheduled international services. Flights connect Puerto Natales to Santiago and Puerto Montt within Chile, giving travellers a fast link into the national network rather than the long overland journey through Patagonia. Schedules are seasonal, with more frequent service during the Patagonian summer (roughly October to March) — check current routes and airlines before booking.

LATAM and Sky Airline are the two carriers operating from Puerto Natales, both flying the domestic Chilean network. There is no dedicated hub airline based at PNT — it functions purely as an outstation for onward connections through Santiago.
Terminal at Puerto Natales
The airport has a single small terminal handling all arrivals and departures. Given the airport's size, check-in and security are quick, and there's little walking between curb and gate.

The airport sits around 7 km from central Puerto Natales. Taxis and pre-arranged transfers are the standard way in, and the drive takes roughly 10–15 minutes. Torres del Paine National Park is a further drive of under two hours from the airport, making PNT the fastest way in for travellers heading straight to the park. Confirm current transfer options before you travel.
