Small general aviation airfield serving northern Chile's Arica region.
Location
Arica, Chile
El Buitre Airport (ICAO: SCAE) is a small general aviation airfield located near Arica, a city in the far north of Chile close to the border with Peru. It serves primarily private and light aircraft operations rather than scheduled commercial passenger services.
Arica's main commercial air gateway is Chacalluta International Airport (ARI/SCAR), which handles scheduled airline traffic to Santiago and other Chilean cities. El Buitre functions as a secondary, non-commercial facility in the region.
The airfield is situated in Chile's Arica y Parinacota Region, one of the driest areas on Earth due to its proximity to the Atacama Desert, which influences operational conditions at the field.
