| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| La Florida Airport (regional) | LSC | 5 km (3 mi) | 6,358 ft | 481 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,358 ft, LSC handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 481 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
