Limón International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Limón) (IATA: LIO, ICAO: MRLM) in Limón, Costa Rica, is one of the four international airports in that country. It re-opened on Saturday, 1 July 2006 after being closed nearly 20 years for domestic flights.

The Presidency Ministry announced in June 2011 that Sansa Airlines would begin regular scheduled flights four times a week to Limón Airport, beginning in July and costing ₡30,000–₡75,000 ($60–$150), to increase tourism to Limón Province.[4][5]
