In June 2026, the Ñuble International Airport Promotion Corporation was established in Chillán as a private, non-profit organization.
According to the minutes of its founding assembly, the organization's main objective is to promote regional tourism and commerce through the development of an international airport, strengthening Ñuble's economy, cultural development and position as a tourism destination.
The corporation has outlined three main objectives:
- Promote the development of an international airport: Work toward ensuring that the region has an international airport capable of supporting commercial transportation, charter flights and tourism operations.
- Provide advisory services: Offer guidance and support in the areas of tourism, sports, culture and education.
- Build strategic partnerships: Establish collaborative relationships with social organizations, foundations and other corporations, maintaining a cross-party and politically independent approach.
The initiative seeks to bring together different sectors of the community around a strategic infrastructure project that could expand Ñuble's connectivity, create new economic opportunities and strengthen the region's tourism potential.
