Canchones West Airport is a small, private airstrip located near Canchones in the Tarapacá Region of northern Chile. It serves the arid Atacama Desert area, primarily supporting agricultural, industrial, or private aviation operations rather than scheduled commercial passenger service. The airport holds the ICAO designator SC1A but has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its non-commercial status. Facilities are minimal, consistent with a private or utility-focused aerodrome operating in a remote desert environment.
