New international airport planned for Rio Hato on Panama’s Pacific Coast

Friday, March 25, 2011


Panama President Ricardo Martinelli says the site of Panama’s new international airport will be the beach town of Rio Hato.

The government has long been studying the viability of a new international airport in the Pacific coast region. Panama is known as the Hub of the Americas, but the only major airport is Tocumen International.

An international airport on Panama’s Pacific coast would make it easier for travelers to head straight to the beach without having to go through Panama City.
