El Loa Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto El Loa), is the major airport serving Calama, a city in the Antofagasta Region of Chile. It is one of the largest airports in Chile.
The airport is 6km (04miles) from the city centre. It currently accommodates aircraft with a maximum wingspan of 36m (118feet), so it is limited to receiving narrow body airliners like the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737. There are plans to construct a second runway with capacity to accommodate wide body jets and military aircraft.
A new passenger terminal was inaugurated in 2014. It includes three air bridges, an expanded apron and twelve commercial locations. In addition, there was extensive landscaping around the terminal and a new car park was built.
In parallel to the development of the new terminal, a new 28m (92feet) high control tower, fire brigade service centre, Air Club Hangar, and wastewater treatment plant were opened.
