This is a list of the busiest airports in Central America by passenger traffic, a statistic available for almost all the airstrips taken into account. The list intends to include all the international and domestic airports in the area geographically defined as Central America, comprising Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.
Because each country has a different body to control these statistics, the compilation of data is difficult and not homogeneously distributed. The information presented here represents the best available data from various Internet sources. The ranking is ordered according to total passenger traffic (unless the footnotes indicate otherwise). Information on aircraft or cargo movements is not available for all the airports.
