Flights to Tegucigalpa
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Tegucigalpa is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Palmerola International Airport (XPL), 56 km (35 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,064 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Toncontín Airport (TGU, 3 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Palmerola International Airport | XPL | 56 km (35 mi) | 8,064 ft | 2,061 ft |
| Toncontín Airport (regional) | TGU | 3 km (2 mi) | 6,112 ft | 3,294 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,064 ft, XPL handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 2,061 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
