Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional Ramón Villeda Morales) (IATA: SAP, ICAO: MHLM), also known as La Mesa International Airport, is located 11 kilometres (7 mi) southeast of the city of San Pedro Sula, in the Cortés Department of Honduras.

The airport is named after Ramón Villeda Morales (1909–1971), who served as President of Honduras from 1957 to 1963. It is the major and busiest airport in Honduras, handling about 1,022,924 passengers in 2018. The airport also handles about 150 flights internationally and domestically. The airport provides short connections to tourist attractions such as La Ceiba, and the Caribbean beaches of Roatán and Tela.

History  

The Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport was inaugurated in February 1965. This was because with the rapid growth of the population, and the difficulty for pilots to land at the old airport located in the Barandillas neighborhood in San Pedro Sula. In addition, a modernization of the air service was being carried out, and a new airport was necessary since the old airport only had a dirt runway and a small house that served as a terminal.[4]

In 1997, the current passenger terminal was inaugurated, built in a new location to the old one inaugurated in 1965. In 2013, a remodeling of the passenger terminal began to improve the facilities and infrastructure of the airport [4]

In April 2017, Air Europa started a route to Madrid using Airbus A330s. This service marked the first time Honduras had a direct link to Europe.[5][6]
