## Description

1,036 metres of runway, 143 based aircraft and just over a hundred hangars: Friday Harbor Airport (IATA: FRD, ICAO: KFHR) is the busiest airfield in Washington's San Juan Islands and the archipelago's main air freight point for parcels. FedEx and UPS keep businesses on the field, and Aeronautical Services has flown package freight to Lopez, Orcas and San Juan since 1973, but the traffic consists of small consignments only - no pallets, no ULDs, no freighter aircraft. Scheduled service comes from Kenmore Air with Cessna 208 Caravans out of Boeing Field and from San Juan Airlines out of Bellingham and Anacortes. Anything heavy or bulky reaches the islands on Washington State Ferries from Anacortes, a one to two hour crossing, supplemented by landing-craft charters for building materials and machinery. Real air cargo volumes are handled at Seattle-Tacoma (SEA), with Bellingham (BLI) as the regional feeder option. In 2025 the airport received 834,000 dollars in FAA infrastructure grants, including 486,000 for a new 10,000-square-foot hangar and 348,000 to expand the fuel facility. Online retailers and small businesses shipping to the islands should plan around ferry schedules and reserve air lift for urgent items.
