Santiago Airport (LEST)

Handling is mandatory for all flights, with several agents available; the minimum service typically includes only transfer to the terminal and back. Fees are high for non-commercial GA, with a single example showing total charges about €280 for landing, parking, handling, transport, and administration. Handling agents include Iberia (contact: scqki@iberia.es and scqkq@iberia.es), with parking coordinated via listascqcoordinacion@aena.es. Fueling (100LL) is available but often slow and involves paperwork; payment may be limited to cash or AIR-BP cards. The airport is large and not oriented toward small GA, resulting in long walking distances and time-consuming procedures. Taxis are readily available outside the terminal with a fixed price about €24 to downtown. Bus service to the city exists. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
