Sandra Scabini Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto de Sandra Scabini), (ICAO: SCNS) was an airstrip 115 kilometres (71 mi) northeast of Punta Arenas, the capital of the Magallanes Region of Chile.
In 2009, oil and gas was discovered around the Strait of Magellan, and the airstrip was near the center of the fields.[2][3] Google Earth Historical Imagery (9/2004) shows a well marked 510 metres (1,670 ft) dirt runway. The (3/2013) image and current imagery have the runway in use as a storage area for oil and gas drilling equipment.
