Teniente Julio Gallardo Airfield (Spanish: Aeródromo Teniente Julio Gallardo, IATA: PNT, ICAO: SCNT) is a public use airport located 7 kilometres (4 mi) north-northwest of Puerto Natales, Magallanes y Antártica Chilena, Chile.
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.[3][4]
