SCL Airport Code: Santiago Airport IATA & ICAO

Overview

SCL is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile (CL). The matching ICAO identifier is SCEL. Travel agents see SCL on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example SCLLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO SCEL is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is America/Santiago. This code page explains how SCL is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for Chile: none stored in this country slice. Related IATA city code in this dataset: SCL. To turn a booked PNR that contains SCL into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 SCLLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read SCL as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If SCL is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
