Gateway to Patagonia's windswept lake district.

Location
Sarmiento, Argentina
Lago Musters Airport (IATA: OLN, ICAO: SAVM) is a small regional airport serving Sarmiento, a town in Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina. The airport takes its name from Lago Musters, one of the two lakes near Sarmiento, named in honor of the British explorer George Chaworth Musters. The facility supports limited scheduled and general aviation traffic connecting Sarmiento with other Patagonian destinations. It serves as an important link for a remote community where road travel across the steppe can be lengthy and challenging. Sarmiento is known for its Petrified Forests and unique paleontological sites, and the airport plays a modest role in facilitating tourism and local commerce in this sparsely populated region of Argentine Patagonia.
Terminals
The airport has a small, simple terminal facility typical of remote regional airports in Argentine Patagonia.
Getting to & from
