La Mesa International Airport, officially named Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport, is situated approximately 11 kilometers southeast of San Pedro Sula, Honduras. It was named in honor of Ramón Villeda Morales, who served as the President of Honduras from 1957 to 1963. As the largest and busiest airport in Honduras, it played a crucial role in 2022 by handling over 1.1 million passengers and more than 20,000 international and domestic flights annually. It serves as a vital link for travelers heading to popular tourist destinations like La Ceiba and the beautiful Caribbean beaches of Roatán and Tela.
The airport’s history began with its inauguration in February 1965 to address the growing population and the challenges faced by pilots at the old airport in San Pedro Sula’s Barandillas neighborhood. In 1997, a modern passenger terminal was constructed at a new location to replace the older one, which had been inaugurated in 1965. This development significantly improved the airport’s capacity and services. Over the years, further improvements and modernizations have been made to enhance the facilities and infrastructure of the airport.
In 2017, La Mesa International Airport achieved a significant milestone when Air Europa initiated direct flights to Madrid, marking Honduras’s first direct link to Europe. The airport has also faced challenges due to natural disasters, such as the damage caused by hurricanes Mitch in 1997 and Eta and Iota in 2020, which temporarily affected operations. In 2023, the airport underwent a significant remodeling project initiated by SAN (Servicio Aeroportuario Nacional), with a budget of $15 million, to introduce enhancements like a canopy and expansions to various sections of the airport.
