## Description

San Pedro Sula handles more air cargo than any other gateway in Honduras, and Ramón Villeda Morales (SAP) is where the country's export economy meets the runway. The Sula valley's maquila garment plants ship finished apparel to the United States from here, alongside perishables such as farmed tilapia, melons and coffee. Cargo storage and intermodal handling are run by Adimex, the airport's appointed freight operator. Capacity comes mainly from the bellies of American, Avianca and other scheduled carriers, with occasional dedicated freighters. The airport's real edge is proximity to Puerto Cortés, the largest container port in Central America, roughly 60 km north along the CA-13 highway. That air-and-sea pairing makes SAP the logistics reference point for the whole country. Forwarders treat it as the default for time-critical Honduran exports.
