About El Avellano Airport
El Avellano Airport is a small private aerodrome serving the rural area west of Frutillar in Chile's Los Lagos Region. Identified by the IATA code FRT and ICAO code SCEV, it operates primarily for general aviation with a single grass runway.
The airfield lies roughly 30 km west of the town of Frutillar and close to the Lake Llanquihue area, providing road access to destinations such as Puerto Varas and Puerto Montt. It does not handle scheduled commercial flights; travelers flying commercially to the region typically use El Tepual Airport (PMC) near Puerto Montt.
With one grass runway measuring about 520 metres, the airfield is suited to light and private aircraft rather than large airliners. Facilities and passenger services are limited, so visitors normally arrange onward transport in advance through private transfers, rental cars or chauffeur services.
For private pilots and visitors arriving on charter flights, El Avellano offers a quiet entry point to Frutillar and the surrounding lake district, with onward connections by road to the main towns of the Los Lagos Region.
