About Mulatupo Airport
Mulatupo Airport is a small domestic airport serving Mulatupo, a Caribbean island town in the Guna Yala comarca of Panama. It provides an important regional air link for eastern Guna Yala and connects the area with scheduled domestic flights to Panama City.
The airport occupies an island about 1.6 km east of the town and has a single concrete runway of roughly 1,335 m. Because of its island setting, the airport is reached mainly by air, with local boat connections used for the short crossing to Mulatupo and nearby communities.
Located around 200 km east of Panama City, the airport serves travelers visiting the San Blas islands and the wider Guna Yala region. Scheduled flights between Mulatupo and Panama City typically take about 50 minutes, making it a practical link for this remote coastal area.
Passenger facilities are basic but adequate for a small regional airport, with a compact terminal and limited services. Travelers should plan onward connections by boat in advance, especially when arriving from Panama City.
