Pillán Airport Spanish: Aeropuerto de Pillán, (ICAO: SCPN) is an airport at the southern end of an isthmus valley connecting the heads of the Reñihué and Comau Fjords in the Los Lagos Region of Chile. The valley separates the Huequi Peninsula from mainland Chile. Pillán is 45 kilometres (28 mi) northeast of the town of Chaitén.

The airport abuts the shore of Reñihué Fjord, and south approach and departures are over the water. The valley is narrow with nearby mountainous terrain in all quadrants.

The Chaiten VOR-DME (Ident: TEN) is 21.0 nautical miles (38.9 km) southwest of the airport.[4]
