Aircraft handling at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport

Does LFS handle aircraft at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCEL / SCL)?

How much notice does SCEL need?

Standard trips are best filed 24–48 hours ahead. AOG, medevac and humanitarian flights are worked immediately, day or night.

What is a typical turnaround at SCEL?

Turnaround depends on aircraft type and services ordered; LFS confirms a realistic ground time with the handler when the trip is filed.

Can LFS arrange fuel and permits for SCEL too?

Yes — Jet A-1 uplift, landing and overflight permits, slots/PPR, crew hotels and transport are all arranged on one trip file.
