## Description

Set on the Santa Catarina highland plateau at roughly 935 metres, Lages Airport (LAJ) serves the largest town of the Serra Catarinense. The surrounding economy rests on timber, cattle and rural tourism rather than manufacturing for export. Scheduled traffic is light and mostly regional, with road links carrying most goods. There is no meaningful airfreight operation: industrial and wood products move by truck toward the seaports of Itajaí and Navegantes or to the Florianópolis (FLN) cargo facilities. Forwarders should view LAJ as a passenger feeder, not a cargo point.
