Sobre Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport

Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport (SAP) serves San Pedro Sula, the main city of northern Honduras. It is one of the country's main international gateways and handles more than 60% of Honduras' air cargo.

American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, United Airlines and Frontier Airlines fly to US cities including Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Fort Lauderdale and Orlando. Copa Airlines connects to Panama City, Avianca to San Salvador and Guatemala City, Aeroméxico to Mexico City and Air Europa to Madrid. TAG Airlines and Tropic Air add regional flights to Guatemala City and Belize City.

Passengers use a single terminal for domestic and international flights, which the state-run Servicio Aeroportuario Nacional (SAN) has been expanding with more boarding bridges, seating and self-service check-in kiosks.

The airport sits in La Lima, about 11 km (7 miles) southeast of San Pedro Sula, and the drive to downtown usually takes 20 to 30 minutes along Boulevard del Este. From here, travelers head west to the Maya ruins of Copán, east along the Caribbean coast to Tela, or on to La Ceiba, the departure point for ferries to the Bay Islands.

Consejos de llegada a Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport

After landing you pass through immigration and customs in the terminal. Honduras dropped its mandatory online immigration pre-check for most travelers in 2024, but rules can change, so check the Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM) website before you fly.

Once you have your bags, head out of the arrivals hall. Car rental counters are inside the hall. Authorized taxis wait at the curb just outside arrivals; they do not use meters, so agree on the fare before you get in. If you pre-booked a driver, look for your name on a sign as you exit. Uber works in San Pedro Sula; follow the app's directions to the pickup point in front of the terminal or in the parking area. Ignore anyone inside the terminal offering rides and go to the official taxi area instead.

San Pedro Sula is hot and humid most of the year. Honduras uses Central Standard Time (UTC−6) with no daylight saving time, and the currency is the Honduran lempira (HNL); ATMs and exchange booths are in the terminal.

A taxi from the official rank or a pre-booked driver suits most travelers, since no city buses serve the airport.
