What we plan around at PUQ.
Local constraints we build into every delivery window — curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.
Antarctic staging.
The southbound leg is an expedition, not a flight: there are no facilities at the ice, so everything is loaded here. We build expedition provisioning — shelf-stable, high-energy, extreme-cold-tolerant — and pack for a leg that may slip for days on weather. Confirm the operator's specific requirements.
Weather is the schedule.
Antarctic flights go when the ice runway allows — plan for slippage, and provision for it.
Chilean biosecurity.
Chile enforces strict agricultural rules — local sourcing is compliant and superior.
Torres del Paine onward.
~5h by road (or air to Puerto Natales) — lodge-route provisioning.
Confirm handler.
Delivery starts with the tail's FBO.
