Chacalluta Airport

Chacalluta Airport in Arica, Chile, opened in the early 1960s and today operates from a single compact terminal that handles both domestic and a handful of international flights; it’s a small but strategic gateway for northern Chile and cross‑border travel to Peru. The airport is easy to reach by road from Arica city center with taxis, shared shuttles and local buses providing regular links, and it’s a handy option for travelers heading to coastal resorts or the nearby border. Airlines such as LATAM, Sky Airline and JetSMART serve Chacalluta, with budget carriers offering competitive fares—generally making Arica affordable compared with major international hubs.
