## Description

Amerijet International, Avianca Cargo, DHL Aero Expreso and FedEx feeder operators all serve Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport (SAL), making it El Salvador's gateway for international air freight. Situated near San Luis Talpa, roughly 50 km southeast of San Salvador, the airport is the home base of Avianca El Salvador on the passenger side. Freight forwarders rely on a dedicated 21,336 m² cargo terminal with three freighter stands and an attached 10,286 m² warehouse. The facility handles around 26,000 tonnes of cargo per year across imports and exports. Amerijet runs scheduled freighters mainly to Miami, while Avianca Cargo uses the site as a regional Latin American node and DHL Aero Expreso links Guatemala City and Panama City–Tocumen. Menzies Aviation is among the ground handlers managing cargo on the apron. Customs clearance runs through El Salvador's General Directorate of Customs (DGA), and the airport's road connection toward the capital speeds the movement of coffee, apparel and pharmaceutical shipments. Its proximity to the Pacific port of Acajutla lets shippers combine air and sea legs for regional supply chains.
