Apopa is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is El Salvador International Airport Saint Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez (SAL), 42 km (26 mi) from the centre, whose 10,500-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Ilopango International Airport (ILS, 14 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| El Salvador International Airport Saint Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez | SAL | 42 km (26 mi) | 10,500 ft | 101 ft |
| Ilopango International Airport (regional) | ILS | 14 km (9 mi) | 7,349 ft | 2,027 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,500 ft, SAL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 101 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
