Honduras to Move its Main Airport to a US Military Base

The new airport will be in the United State’s biggest military base in Central America.

The Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez announced Tuesday that the International Airport Toncontin, located in the country´s capital is going to close, and that a new international airport is going to be built inside the United States military base of Palmerola.

The announcement was made during the inauguration of a small airport in the west region of the country.

The project of a new international airport in the foreign military base will cost more than US$135 million which the Honduran government will fund mainly via a US$80 million loan from the Spanish government. The rest will be put forward by a private company, that will receive all the airport revenues for the next three decades.

Another key aspect of this new decision is that the United States troops will stay in Palmerola and will maintain the control tower under their command. As a result, one of the region's most important airports is going to be directly controlled by the United States Army.

Palmerola is the United States biggest military base in Central America, and permanently has 600 US troops. It is the main headquarters of the U.S. Southern Command.

The base was used during the Cold War to plan and execute attacks against Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panama and many countries in the Caribbean.

When former President Zelaya, ousted in a 2010 military coup, proposed taking control of the military base in 2008 and removing the the United States soldiers, he was strongly attacked by the national and international media.

In contrast, Juan Orlando Hernandez has presented the same plan, but with the participation of the United State’s Army South Command, and the initiative is presented as a tool for development.

Many had believed that Toncontin would be for domestic flights, but today the Honduran president announced that the airport will pass under the exclusive control of the Honduran Air Force.
