Airport contact
Domestic regional airport serving Chitré and the Azuero Peninsula (Herrera, Los Santos, Veraguas, Coclé catchment); sole scheduled service is Air Panama's Fokker 50 route to Panama City-Albrook (PAC/MPMG, Marcos A. Gelabert Airport — not Tocumen/PTY), ~25 min, roughly 6x weekly. Despite the 'Capitán' honorific in its name, it is not an international gateway — no customs/immigration presence found, and fuel availability could not be confirmed from any authoritative source, so travelers should assume none is guaranteed. Official AAC passenger-throughput statistics for this airport were not found published anywhere despite searching; annual figure above should be read as unpublished/unavailable, not as zero actual traffic. Trees noted close to both runway sides per pilot advisories.

Air Panama
Air Panama operates the only scheduled service at CTD (domestic route to Panama City-Gelabert/PAC, several times weekly) and is the airport's sole commercial carrier, run out of its local station office. As is typical for Air Panama's smaller domestic Panamanian stations, it is presumed to self-handle its own flights here, though this has not been independently confirmed.
