Toncontín Airport

No. Since December 2021, international passenger airlines serving Tegucigalpa have used Palmerola International Airport (XPL) near Comayagua. Toncontín now handles domestic flights within Honduras and small aircraft. The only international operation reported at Toncontín in 2025 was a cargo flight to Guatemala City, so travelers arriving from abroad should expect to land at Palmerola or connect through another Honduran airport.

Toncontín Airport is about 6 km from central Tegucigalpa, inside the city itself, close to shopping centers such as City Mall and Cascadas Mall. The short distance is one reason the airport remains popular for domestic flights. Travel time depends heavily on traffic in the capital, so allow extra time at rush hour. Taxis wait outside the terminal, and Uber also operates at the airport.

Check your ticket for the airport code before you travel.

Toncontín has a compact terminal area that now serves scheduled domestic flights. A newer terminal handled international flights until 2021, and the older terminal has been under renovation for domestic use. Distances inside the airport are short, so walking from your aircraft to the exit takes only a few minutes.

CM Airlines and Aerolíneas Sosa run the scheduled passenger flights at Toncontín. CM Airlines flies to Roatán, San Pedro Sula and Puerto Lempira, and Aerolíneas Sosa flies to Roatán and La Ceiba. All of these routes are within Honduras. Schedules on smaller domestic routes can change, so check with the airline before you travel.

Taxis wait outside the terminal at Toncontín, which is about 6 km from central Tegucigalpa.
