Airport Type & Size
El Salvador’s main airport, handling nearly 5.5 million passengers last year, with its 3 biggest routes being LAX, Houston and IAD respectively. Good generic airport I feel.
Single runway, Runway 07/25, 3,200m/10,499ft.
Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
It’s a smaller Central American airport which can accommodate 747-400s happily and 747-8F using the full length of the runway if heavily laden.Also, based on its profile, it could make for a fab generic airport for Central America

Unique Features or Challenges
Erm, not really as far as I can see. El Salvador Air Force has Dragonfly’s based at the airport. Looks pretty.
