The airport was opened in 2015, and is expected to provide easier tourist access to the Mayan ruins at Copán.[3] A second construction phase is planned that will allow aircraft with up to 100 passengers to land.[4][5]

There are low hills in all quadrants.

The Puerto Barrios VOR-DME (Ident: IOS) is located 55.0 nautical miles (102 km) north-northeast of the airport.[6]
