Chaitén Airfield

Chaitén Airfield (Aeródromo Chaitén, ) was an airport serving Chaitén, a town in the Los Lagos Region of Chile. The airport was damaged and closed after the 2008 eruption of Chaitén Volcano.

A provisional airstrip was established 12 km away at the hamlet of Santa Bárbara, by widening 700 m of the Carretera Austral highway.

In 2013, construction began on Nuevo Chaitén Airport, which then assumed the ICAO and IATA codes of the closed airport. The new airport is 18 km northwest of Chaitén.
