El Avellano Airport (IATA: FRT) is a small general-aviation airfield serving Frutillar, a lakeside town in Chile's Los Lagos Region.

💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to check wind and weather conditions before flying—Llanquihue Lake can generate quick changes—and to leave time for a stop in Frutillar for its German-style kuchen and lakefront Teatro del Lago.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is a short drive from Frutillar's center; taxis and pre-booked transfers are the most reliable way to get there. If you're driving, follow local signs toward El Avellano and confirm the access road with your operator, as rural roads can be unpaved. Public bus service does not typically stop at the airfield, so arrange return transport in advance.
