Mataveri International Airport or Isla de Pascua Airport (IATA: IPC, ICAO: SCIP) located on Easter Island (Isla de Pascua in Spanish), is one of the world's most remote airports, served only by the Chilean carrier LAN Airlines (formerly LanChile). The airport is the main point of entry for thousands of tourists who come to Easter Island to see its amazing archaeogical sites. The airport contains a restaurant/bar, several souvenir shops, as well as a baggage claim area where most of the island's hotels and guesthouses have kiosks.

The airport has a single runway whose 3,318 m (10,885 ft) length is sufficient to accommodate a space shuttle in an emergency landing. This development boosted tourism to the island.

The airport also has a transit lounge used by passengers who are continuing on to or from Papeete, Tahiti, which is also serviced by LAN Airlines.
