Teniente Julio Gallardo Airport

Teniente Julio Gallardo Airport (Spanish: Aeródromo Teniente Julio Gallardo), (IATA: PNT, ICAO: SCNT) is an airport serving Puerto Natales, a city in the Magallanes Region of Chile.

The airport is 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) north-northwest of Puerto Natales, which is on the Admiral Montt Gulf (es), a long fjord that reaches inland close to the border with Argentina.

The Puerto Natales VOR-DME (Ident: PNT) is located 4.9 nautical miles (9.1 km) southeast of the airport.

Work is expected to be completed in September 2016 and is being done so that the airport is better able to handle aircraft such as the A320 and Boeing 737 to return scheduled commercial service to Puerto Natales, which it has not had since 2013.

[5][6] Latest available imagery[7] (2/12/2015) shows a displaced threshold on the southeast end of the runway, limiting runway length to 1,315 metres (4,314 ft).
