Location

Friday Harbor, United States

Friday Harbor Airport (FRD/KFHR) is a small general aviation airport located on San Juan Island in Washington State, USA. It serves as a key air access point to Friday Harbor, the county seat of San Juan County, which is otherwise accessible primarily by Washington State Ferries or private boat. The airport sits at an elevation of approximately 113 feet above sea level and supports scheduled commuter service alongside general aviation and charter operations. It plays a vital role in connecting the island community to the mainland, particularly to Seattle-area airports.

Terminals

The airport has a small, single terminal building suited to its low-volume commuter and general aviation traffic.

Getting to & from

Ground transport from the airport into Friday Harbor town is limited, with taxis and rental cars being the primary options given the island's small size.
