What is tegucigalpa airport?

The Toncontín International Airport (TGU) is the primary airport serving Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras. It is located about 6 kilometers (4 miles) from the city center. The airport is small and has a single runway that is known for its challenging approach due to the surrounding mountainous terrain.

Toncontín International Airport serves as a hub for several domestic airlines in Honduras, as well as a few international flights to nearby countries in Central America. The airport has limited amenities, including a few shops, restaurants, and car rental services.

Due to its small size and challenging approach, Toncontín International Airport has been criticized for its safety record, with several incidents and accidents occurring over the years. In response, plans have been made to construct a new international airport in the region to improve safety and accommodate larger aircraft.
