Location

Puerto Lempira, Honduras

Puerto Lempira Airport (IATA: PEU, ICAO: MHPL) is a small regional airport serving Puerto Lempira, the capital of the Gracias a Dios Department in eastern Honduras. The airport provides a critical air link for one of the most geographically isolated regions in Central America, known as La Mosquitia, where road access is extremely limited.

The airport handles light aircraft and small turboprop operations, supporting both commercial and humanitarian flights serving the surrounding communities.

The airport has a basic, single small terminal building suited to low-volume regional traffic.
