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.
