Just Aviation for Landing Permit Management at Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (IATA: SCL, ICAO: SCEL)

To land at Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL) in Santiago, Chile, all aircraft—whether commercial or private—must obtain a landing permit from the Chilean Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The required documentation includes the Certificate of Registration, Certificate of Airworthiness, Worldwide Insurance Certificate, Crew and Passenger Information, and a detailed Flight Itinerary. For aircraft carrying more than 19 passengers, special permission from the CAA must be requested at least 48 hours in advance.

Landing permit applications should be submitted at least 24 hours before the intended flight to allow sufficient processing time. In emergency cases, such as air ambulance flights, permits can be processed on shorter notice, though early notification is advisable. While airport slots are not typically required, they are mandatory for flights departing over the Mendoza FIR due to air traffic congestion, and should be requested 24 to 48 hours in advance. The ATC will provide specific times for engine start-up and wheels-up for these flights.
