## Description

Table grapes, avocados and pisco from the Elqui Valley set the rhythm of La Florida (LSC), the airport of La Serena and Coquimbo on Chile's Norte Chico coast. LATAM, JetSmart and Sky operate scheduled services, predominantly to Santiago. The airport has no dedicated cargo terminal; freight travels as belly load, and regional exports move through Santiago (SCL) or the port of Coquimbo. A local distinction is its role as the air access point for the La Silla and Cerro Tololo observatories, whose sensitive optics arrive by air. For forwarders, LSC is a seasonal feeder rather than a freight hub.
