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 airport is 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from the border.
The Puerto Natales VOR-DME (Ident: PNT) is located 4.9 nautical miles (9.1 km) southeast of the airport.
Expansion
In 2014 it was announced that the airport would be expanded with the taxiway widened to 23 metres (75 ft) and runway extended to 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) and widened to 45 metres (148 ft). 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.
Latest available imagery (2/12/2015) shows a displaced threshold on the southeast end of the runway, limiting runway length to 1,315 metres (4,314 ft).
