Seguridad Aeroportuaria AEROSEG SpA
Cited as a contractor to 'Aeropuerto Carriel Sur S.A.' (the concessionaire) in a Chilean MOP concessions directorate November 2025 contractor-payments disclosure (concesiones.mop.gob.cl), but this could not be independently re-verified (document-level search unreachable) and AEROSEG's own website only lists Santiago (Pudahuel) terminal locations with no mention of Concepción or Carriel Sur; treat as unconfirmed rather than asserted until corroborated by an airport-specific source.

Finameris S.A. (SIE Seguridad)
Confirmed directly on SIE Seguridad's own website (sieseguridad.cl), which explicitly names 'Carriel Sur' as a client reference: 'guardias capacitados y acreditados para operar en zonas aeronáuticas, con experiencia en terminales de alto flujo como Carriel Sur' (guarding, access control, QR-geolocated patrols). Published phone number ••• matches. Its legal entity, Finameris S.A., is also named as a contractor to the Carriel Sur concessionaire in the MOP contractor-payments disclosure (Nov 2025, unverified independently).

Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC) - Aeródromo Carriel Sur
DGAC is confirmed on the airport's own official contact page (aeropuertocarrielsur.cl/contacto) as the national regulatory/AVSEC contact (•••); note the field is operated under concession by 'Aeropuerto Carriel Sur S.A.' (ICAFAL) rather than being DGAC-administered, but DGAC provides on-site AVSEC (aviation security screening of passengers, crew, cargo and facilities) as Chile's national civil aviation authority.
