## Description

Tourism, not freight, defines Roatán's Juan Manuel Gálvez (RTB), the only international airport in Honduras' Bay Islands. As the country's fourth-busiest field, it carries close to a quarter of national air traffic, drawing scheduled service from American, Delta, United and Avianca plus regional carriers such as Aerolíneas Sosa and CM Airlines. Cargo is largely belly freight tied to island supply and the dive-and-cruise economy rather than a standalone operation. Forwarders handling larger or time-sensitive consignments route them through the mainland hub at San Pedro Sula. Even so, RTB is one of the best-known names in Honduran aviation, the reference point for Caribbean reef tourism.
