About Cauquira Airport
Cauquira Airport is a small domestic airstrip serving the village of Cauquira in Gracias a Dios Department, in eastern Honduras. Situated on a narrow barrier spit between the Caratasca Lagoon and the Caribbean Sea, it acts as a local gateway for remote coastal communities in the Mosquitia region.
The airfield has a single grass runway used mainly for short domestic flights and light aircraft operations. Its facilities are compact, with a basic terminal area designed for local passenger traffic rather than large-scale commercial services.
Located about 20 km from Puerto Lempira, the departmental capital, the airport connects with the town and surrounding lagoon communities mainly by boat and local road transport. Travel times vary with weather, tides and road conditions.
Although small, the airport plays an important role for residents and travelers moving through this sparsely populated part of Honduras, linking Cauquira with nearby settlements and onward connections in the region.
