About Puerto Lempira Airport

Puerto Lempira Airport (IATA: PEU, ICAO: MHPL) is an airport serving Puerto Lempira in Gracias a Dios Department, Honduras. It handles regional air traffic for the city. It is also a hub for general aviation and the Honduran Air Force.

The airport is within Puerto Lempira, the capital city of the Gracias a Dios Department. It is the principal transportation link to the rest of Honduras, as there are no paved highways leading to the city. The airport and city are on the shore of the Caratasca Lagoon, which provides the town's main economy. The airport and the township suffered substantial damage in 1998, after Hurricane Mitch made landfall in the general area.
