AIP referenceSCIP — AIP Chile / DGAC
Operating hoursNo H24 tower coverage; ATC/services active only around scheduled flight windows (typically one daily LATAM widebody rotation to/from Santiago, ~5.5 hrs each way, plus historically periodic LATAM service to Tahiti-Papeete). No night-operations infrastructure. GA/charter traffic should coordinate PPR with DGAC given extreme isolation and limited ground services/diversion options.
TerminalsSingle small terminal building with one common departure/arrival hall; no jet bridges (apron/stair boarding); basic retail, café, luggage storage, and tourism-info kiosks catering to arriving visitors.

Mataveri is Rapa Nui/Easter Island's sole air link to the outside world, served almost exclusively by LATAM Chile's Santiago mainline flight, making it the critical lifeline for the island's remote-tourism economy. Its unusually long, oversized runway dates to a 1980s US-assisted extension that qualified it as an emergency trans-Pacific and Space Shuttle diversion strip, far exceeding what its modest scheduled traffic requires.

Ground handling Available
LATAM Airlines
LATAM is documented as the sole airline serving Mataveri (only scheduled route: Santiago–Easter Island, ~4h35m); self-handled, LATAM covers its own passenger, ramp, baggage and turnaround operations. Mataveri is a non-concessioned, DGAC-operated aerodrome — no independent third-party ground-handling company is documented (flightconnections.com, DGAC).

Aircraft fuel Available
ENAP (Empresa Nacional del Petróleo)
Operates the Terminal Vinapu fuel depot on Easter Island (near Hanga Roa/Mataveri), which stores "kerosene aviación" (jet fuel) alongside 93-octane gasoline and diesel B across six 800 m³ tanks, delivered by ENAP's own fleet of 3 dedicated aviation-kerosene trucks; documented on ENAP's own supply-chain site (enap.cl/nuestras-operaciones/supply-chain/terminal-vinapu-en-isla-de-pascua). This is the island's only aviation-fuel logistics chain, making ENAP the de facto fuel supplier (and, via its own trucks, effectively the into-plane deliverer) for Mataveri.

LATAM Airlines
No independent MRO or line-maintenance company is documented at Mataveri; transit/turnaround checks on LATAM's own aircraft are presumed self-handled, in-house, LATAM, consistent with the airline being the sole operator here, but this is not separately documented in available sources.

Aviation security Unconfirmed
Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC)
As Chile's civil aviation authority, DGAC administers Mataveri's aviation-security programme under Chile's DAN 1702 airport-security-accreditation framework (dgac.gob.cl/aeropuertos/seguridad-aeroportuaria/acreditacion-dan-1702/), a national framework confirmed on DGAC's site but without Mataveri-specific detail; DGAC's own coverage of the airport's anniversary noted an operational presence of the Chilean Air Force, Policía de Investigaciones (PDI), Navy and Carabineros de Chile, but the specific entity running passenger/cargo screening is not separately named in available sources.

Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC)
DGAC provides air traffic control, aeronautical information (AIP Chile / AIS at aipchile.dgac.gob.cl) and meteorological/briefing services at Mataveri, consistent with DGAC's nationwide role as Chile's civil aviation and air-navigation-services authority; the aerodrome itself originated in 1954 as a DGAC meteorological radio station, per DGAC's own site (dgac.gob.cl). Overall airport administration is not fully confirmed in available sources — DGAC's own Mataveri page names an Airport Chief without stating agency affiliation, and other sources describe a historical Chilean Air Force (FACH) role at this joint civil/military aerodrome, so no non-concessioned-DGAC-operator claim is made.
