## Description

Born as a company town of the banana trade, Changuinola grew up around the plantations of Bocas del Toro province in Panama's far northwest. Today its airport, Changuinola «Capitán Manuel Niño» International (IATA: CHX), is a purely regional field served only by Air Panama on the route to Panama City. The famous banana exports still leave by sea through the nearby port of Almirante rather than by air, and the airport has no cargo terminal. Shipments that must fly are routed via Tocumen International Airport (PTY).
