About Puerto Lempira Airport
Puerto Lempira Airport is a small regional airport serving Puerto Lempira, the capital of the Gracias a Dios department in eastern Honduras. It provides an important air link for the remote La Mosquitia region, where limited road connections make air travel a key way to reach the rest of the country.
The airport is located about 1 km from the town center on Honduras' Caribbean coast and handles domestic flights operated by CM Airlines to Tegucigalpa and Lanhsa to La Ceiba. These services connect the Mosquitia region with the capital and the northern coast.
PEU has a single small terminal and a dirt runway, reflecting its role as a modest regional facility. It mainly serves local residents, public workers, health personnel and travelers visiting the remote coastal and lagoon areas of La Mosquitia.
After landing, passengers can reach the town center quickly by taxi or local transport, while onward travel into the wider Mosquitia region often continues by boat along the coast and lagoons.
