Ahuas Airport (AHS)

Ahuas Airport is the small domestic airfield serving the village of Ahuas in the remote La Mosquitia region of Gracias a Dios, in northeastern Honduras. Set close to the Patuca River, it acts as a vital link for local Miskito communities in an area where road access is extremely limited and air transport is often the most reliable way in or out.

The airport has a modest single terminal and grass runways used by small turboprop and Cessna-type aircraft. Scheduled and charter services, including Aero Sosa (LANHSA) and Mission Aviation Fellowship, connect Ahuas with destinations such as Puerto Lempira, Brus Laguna and La Ceiba, and support medical, humanitarian and community travel to the nearby Moravian clinic.

Because the airfield sits at the edge of the village, the centre of Ahuas is only a short ride or walk away. Ground options around the village are local rather than institutional, and onward travel through La Mosquitia commonly involves small boats on the Patuca River or prearranged local transport.

Facilities are basic and designed for small regional operations: passengers can expect a simple waiting area, a local food outlet, a small shop and restrooms. Travellers should confirm flights in advance and keep essentials close, as weather and local conditions can affect schedules in this isolated part of Honduras.
