Añorada Airport

The closure was due to economic and land-use reasons. As a small, private airfield, its owner repurposed the valuable land for a more profitable agricultural venture. The expansion and prominence of the nearby El Tepual International Airport (SCTE) in Puerto Montt for regional commercial and private traffic likely contributed to making a small, private strip in Frutillar economically obsolete.

The site is no longer an airport and has been completely redeveloped. The land is now occupied by a large agricultural enterprise, 'Berries Añorada', which specializes in berry cultivation. Extensive greenhouses, tunnels, and processing facilities have been built directly over the footprint of the former runway and airfield.

Añorada Airport was a private aerodrome that served the general aviation community in the scenic and touristic Chilean Lake District. It primarily handled small, private aircraft for recreational flying and provided direct access to the town of Frutillar, located on the shores of Lake Llanquihue. It was likely used by the local flying club, 'Club Aéreo de Frutillar', before the club relocated to another nearby strip. Its operations were VFR (Visual Flight Rules) on a single unpaved runway.

There are zero prospects for reopening. The land has been permanently and irreversibly converted to agricultural use with significant infrastructure investment. The local general aviation needs are met by other small airfields in the vicinity, such as Fundo El Rincón Aerodrome (SCFR).
