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.
