About Víctor Lafón Airport
Víctor Lafón Airport is a small regional airfield serving San Felipe, a city in the Aconcagua Valley of Chile's Valparaíso Region. Located about 2 km northeast of the city centre, it mainly supports general aviation, agricultural operations and emergency response flights rather than scheduled commercial services.
The airport has a single asphalt runway of roughly 1 km that was upgraded from a dirt strip, along with improved taxiways, aircraft parking areas and perimeter fencing completed in recent years. These works strengthened the airfield's role in regional firefighting and emergency support, including operations by forest service aircraft.
Road access connects the airport directly with central San Felipe and nearby communities such as Los Andes, and onward routes lead toward the coast and the Santiago metropolitan area. Private transfers, taxis and rental cars provide flexible options for travellers continuing into the Aconcagua Valley.
For scheduled flights, the main gateway is Santiago's Arturo Merino Benítez Airport around 80 km to the south, so Víctor Lafón Airport functions primarily as a local and emergency-use facility for the city and surrounding region.
