## Description

Amerijet International, DHL Aero Expreso, Avianca Cargo, Atlas Air and Cargojet all call at Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport (SAL/MSLP), which moves roughly 26,000 tonnes of import and export cargo a year for El Salvador. The dedicated cargo terminal covers 21,336 m² with three freighter parking stands and an attached warehouse of around 10,000 m². Amerijet's core rotation runs to Miami, DHL Aero Expreso links Guatemala City and Panama City, and Avianca Cargo uses the airport as one of its regional connecting points. Typical exports include apparel from the country's maquila plants, coffee, seafood and other perishables, which is why cool-chain capacity matters more here than sheer tonnage. The airport lies at San Luis Talpa, about 40 km southeast of San Salvador on the CA-2 coastal highway, roughly two hours by road from the seaport of Acajutla for sea-air combinations. Customs clearance runs through El Salvador's customs administration, with the Central American single transit declaration covering onward road movements to neighbouring countries. Shippers needing wider intercontinental connectivity usually compare Panama City (PTY), while Guatemala City (GUA) is the practical alternative for trucked freight.
