Airport contact
Regional aerodrome serving Pucón, one of Chile's premier Lake District tourism gateways (Villarrica volcano, hot springs, adventure tourism); LATAM Chile and Sky Airline formerly flew seasonal, summer-only Santiago-Pucón service using Boeing 737s until 2013, when both carriers' shift to Airbus A320 aircraft exceeded the short runway's capability, suspending commercial service pending runway-extension and obstacle-clearance works (tree removal constrained by native-forest replanting law), with Temuco's La Araucanía Airport (ZCO/SCTC), about 100 km away, serving as the region's main air gateway in the interim; both carriers have expressed renewed interest in reactivating the route.

Aviasur FBO
Listed as the FBO/Handler of record for SCPC-ZPC in the Flightbridge aviation-services directory, offering supervisory ramp handling and quick-turnaround coordination; the company states it keeps NO local office at Pucón and that all support is coordinated in advance from its Santiago headquarters, so this is remote/on-request coverage rather than a resident handler.

Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC) – Aeródromo Pucón
DGAC is the aerodrome's administrator per its own AIP/IFIS entry for SCPC ("Adm: DGAC"); the field is uncontrolled and every arrival/departure must be coordinated by radio with ARO Temuco (118.2 MHz, TIBA procedure) at least one hour beforehand — the closest documented equivalent to a flight-planning/briefing service at this airfield. No dedicated ground handling, fuel, cargo, catering, cleaning, GSE, security or maintenance company is listed in the AIP or the airport-services directories checked.
