## Description

LGR is the code for Cochrane Airport (ICAO SCHR), a small public field at the southern end of the Carretera Austral in Chile's Aysén region. Its single asphalt runway 07/25 measures 1,060 metres, which limits traffic to light aircraft and air taxis — no airliners and no freighters. The airport keeps the remote Patagonian town of Cochrane reachable when the gravel highway becomes difficult, but there is no cargo terminal, no customs post and no railway anywhere in the region, so air freight exists only as small belly loads. Everyday goods arrive by truck from Coyhaique along the Carretera Austral, supplemented by coastal shipping through Puerto Chacabuco. The nearest airport with scheduled service and regular cargo handling is Balmaceda (BBA), some 165 km away as the crow flies and more than 300 km by road to the north, connecting to Santiago, Puerto Montt and Concepción. Time-critical or international consignments are routed through Santiago (SCL) with a road leg at each end.
