Airlines operating in Chile
Chilean and foreign airlines authorized to operate in Chile (JAC registry, Dec 2025). For each one: whether it is a passenger carrier —with belly cargo— or a full freighter, its IATA code, the AWB numeric prefix and the aircraft it operates.
Full freighters
These carriers fly cargo-only aircraft: the largest capacity per shipment and the backbone of the perishable peak out of Chile.

Only airlines with authorized scheduled operations are listed; charter-only and non-scheduled operators are excluded. Legal name, country and type of service come from the official registry of Chile's Civil Aeronautics Board (JAC), updated to Dec 22, 2025. IATA codes, AWB prefixes and aircraft types are indicative —based on standard industry operations— and may vary by season, route and configuration. Confirm against your AWB and with your freight forwarder. A "—" means the data is unconfirmed.
