About La Fría Airport
La Fría Airport, officially Francisco García de Hevia International Airport, is a regional airport serving La Fría in Táchira state, Venezuela. It connects western Venezuela with domestic destinations such as Caracas and Porlamar and supports both passenger and regional travel needs.
The airport lies about 3 km northwest of the La Fría town centre and roughly 40 km north of San Cristóbal, the capital of Táchira. This position makes it a practical gateway to the Venezuelan Andes and the border area near Cúcuta, Colombia.
It operates a single passenger terminal and one asphalt runway measuring approximately 2,025 metres. After rehabilitation work, commercial operations resumed in 2015, strengthening the airport's role as a regional connection point.
Access is primarily by road, with taxis, private transfers and the Autopista San Cristóbal–La Fría linking the airport to La Fría, San Cristóbal and other surrounding towns.
