Sociedad Concesionaria Aeropuertos del Norte S.A.
Current MOP concession holder for ANF's terminal and apron infrastructure. A SACYR Concesiones (70%) / Cointer (30%) joint venture operating under the Red Aeroportuaria Norte de Chile contract, it took over ANF on 28 Feb-Mar 2026 after the prior concessionaire (Sociedad Concesionaria Aeropuerto de Antofagasta S.A. / A-PORT Chile) reached its 15-year term limit; corroborated by multiple Chilean infrastructure and aviation press sources (infraestructurapublica.cl, elaereo.com, diarioestrategia.cl). Concessionaires of this type typically manage terminal/apron infrastructure rather than perform ramp handling themselves; no named ramp-handling subcontractor could be identified, and the operator site (aeropuertoandressabella.

As a ULCC, JetSmart typically contracts third-party ground handling rather than self-handling, but the specific ANF provider could not be verified.

Enex S.A.
Chilean press (Diario Antofagasta, 31 Jul 2026) reports a change of aviation fuel provider at Andres Sabella airport away from the prior supplier Copec, prompting a regional-governor alert over international-flight fuel-supply risk; a Jul 2026 Chilean environmental-authority (SEA) filing (PERTI-2026-7265) separately documents an Enex S.A. project for aircraft fuel storage, distribution and supply built specifically inside Aeropuerto Andres Sabella de Antofagasta. Enex's own aviation page lists Calama, Punta Arenas and Santiago as service airports, but access issues (HTTP 403) prevented confirming an ANF listing directly on enex.cl, so live operational status is recorded as unconfirmed rather than available.
