Remote airstrip serving the isolated Lago Verde region of Chile.

Location
Lago Verde, Chile
Lago Verde Airport (ICAO: SCVE) is a small general aviation airstrip located near the town of Lago Verde in the Aysén Region of southern Chile. The facility serves as a critical air access point for a community that is largely cut off from the national road network, making air transport essential for residents and supplies. The airport supports light aircraft operations and is used primarily for domestic connectivity, emergency medical evacuations, and the transport of goods to this remote Patagonian community. Given the challenging terrain and limited infrastructure of the surrounding region, the airstrip plays a disproportionately important role in daily life.
Notable facts
  • ›Located in the Aysén Region of Chilean Patagonia, one of the most sparsely populated areas in South America.
  • ›Lago Verde town has no paved road connection to the rest of Chile, making the airport vital for access.
  • ›The airport primarily handles light general aviation and occasional charter flights.
  • ›Used for emergency medical evacuations (medevac) for the isolated local community.
  • ›Has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its status as a minor regional airstrip.
