Santiago Airport Runway Maintenance Causes Flight Rescheduling

Maintenance on runway 17L/35R at Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport is causing daily closures between 09:00 and 20:00. Long-haul flights may face rescheduling or technical refueling stops.

Why this matters to travelers

Passengers on international flights, particularly to Europe, should check for schedule changes or additional stops due to runway length restrictions.
