How ground handling comes together

Permits and overflight coordination

Arranged ahead of the flight, so clearances are in hand before the aircraft is wheels-up.

Ground handling, fuel and crew & passenger assistance

Handled directly at Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales or Puerto Williams, under one point of contact.

Catering, cargo and onward connections

Catering and cargo handling on the ground, with sub-agents arranged wherever the itinerary runs beyond our three airports.

“We answer for it — if it is our name on the port call, the responsibility does not get passed down a chain of subcontractors.”

Where it fits in the call

Charter flights supporting an Antarctic season or a crew change often run alongside our Antarctic logistics and crew handling work, all coordinated through the same port agency file.
