The airport uses the GMT -4:00 time zone.
There is no regular scheduled public service to the airport, although Aerovías DAP has some charter flights from Punta Arenas.
The airport is named in memory of Lieutenant Rodolfo Marsh, who in the 1930s helped pioneer air routes to the Magallanes Region of Chile, mainly using Sikorsky S43 flying boats. He was killed when his plane, the S43 "Chiloé", crashed on 2 June 1937 flying from Puerto Montt to Punta Arenas. The crash occurred during bad weather killing all four crew and five passengers.[6]
