๐ข Terminal Information
Ahuas Airport (AHS) is a remote community airstrip in Hondurasโ Gracias a Dios department, serving the village of Ahuas on the Mosquito Coast. Facilities center on a very small terminal hut/shelter adjacent to an unpaved runway used by charter, missionary, medical, and community flights connecting to larger Honduran towns. Checkโin is informal and handled by the operator on duty; passengers board on foot across the apron. Arrivals walk directly into the public area where baggage is handโreturned.\n\nThe airfield layout is extremely simple. From the dropโoff point to the terminal shelter is under 1 minute, and the walk to parked aircraft is typically 30โ60 seconds depending on position. There are no buses, jet bridges, or interโterminal transfersโeverything is groundโlevel and within a few dozen meters.\n\nThere is no TSAโstyle screening and no immigration or customs at AHS. All international border formalities, if part of an itinerary, occur at larger airports such as Tegucigalpa (TGU), San Pedro Sula (SAP), or Roatรกn (RTB). Local security is informal but enforced by operators; bring government ID for manifest verification.\n\nAmenities are minimal. Expect basic seating and, when staffed, a simple kiosk or office; there are no restaurants, lounges, or retail. Cellular coverage and WiโFi can be inconsistent. Ground transport is preโarranged with local drivers or your lodgeโthere is no formal taxi rank. Cash is preferred in remote areas; carry small denominations.\n\nAccessibility is basic but stepโfree into the shelter; staff can assist passengers with reduced mobility. Family facilities are minimal; bring baby supplies, water, and snacks as there are no services on site.

๐ข Terminal Information
Brus Laguna Airport (BHG) serves the remote community of Brus Laguna in the Gracias a Dios Department of Honduras, located within the vast and largely undeveloped La Mosquitia region. This small regional airstrip is a crucial lifeline for the local community, providing essential air access where road infrastructure is extremely limited or non-existent. It primarily handles domestic flights, connecting to La Ceiba or other regional hubs via CM Airlines, alongside supporting private and humanitarian flights. The 'airport' consists of a single unpaved (grass or dirt) runway, suitable for light aircraft and smaller turboprops.\n\nOperational procedures at BHG are informal and highly dependent on visual flight rules (VFR) and local weather conditions. There are no advanced security checkpoints, baggage handling systems, or traditional check-in counters. Passengers for specific flights usually coordinate directly with their operators or pilots. Security, if present, is minimal, handled by local authorities. Flights are prone to delays or cancellations due to tropical weather patterns, including heavy rainfall, which can significantly affect the unpaved runway, or operational requirements. It is advisable to reconfirm flight statuses, especially when traveling during challenging weather periods.\n\nAmenities at Brus Laguna Airport are non-existent for the general public. Travelers should not expect any facilities such as restrooms, food vendors, or retail shops. It is essential for visitors to bring all necessary provisions, including water and snacks, and to be prepared for the hot and humid tropical climate. All arrangements for accommodation and ground transportation in Brus Laguna must be made in advance, as the community has limited public facilities. The airport's primary function is to provide critical air access for local needs in this remote and biodiverse region of Honduras.
