Location

Cochrane, Chile

Cochrane Airport (IATA: LGR, ICAO: SCHR) serves the small town of Cochrane in the Aysén Region of southern Chile, one of the most sparsely populated and remote areas in South America. The airport provides a vital air link for a community otherwise accessible only by long overland routes along the Carretera Austral or by ferry. The airport handles light regional traffic and supports general aviation, emergency medical services, and cargo operations essential to the isolated region. Given Cochrane's remote location deep in Chilean Patagonia, air access is a critical lifeline for residents and for travelers exploring the surrounding wilderness. The surrounding area is known for dramatic Patagonian landscapes, including the nearby Patagonia National Park and the Baker River, attracting adventure tourists and fly-fishing enthusiasts. The airport plays a modest but important role in supporting local tourism and community connectivity.
