AIP referenceMHLC — AIP Honduras / AHAC
Operating hoursNot H24. Terminal commonly cited as 06:00-22:00 local; ATS/customs/immigration/AIS operate a narrower core daytime-to-evening window per AIP. No ILS — a VOR/DME approach procedure is published (for RWY 25) plus visual approach aids; the airport's specific navaid identifier/frequency and pavement PCN code could not be independently confirmed from public sources, so are omitted rather than guessed.
TerminalsSingle passenger terminal (expanded/remodeled 2004) with domestic and international sections; international arrivals/customs area further expanded and terminal renovated 2024-2026 as part of a SAN modernization program.

Airport contact
Renamed from Golosón to Guillermo Anderson (honoring the La Ceiba-born singer-songwriter, d. 2016) by unanimous Congressional vote in Dec 2024. Mainland gateway to the Bay Islands (Roatán, Utila, Guanaja) and the main air link for Honduras's Caribbean coast. Carries genuine international status with working customs/immigration, but service is thin — confirmed only one scheduled international route (Cayman Airways to Grand Cayman) plus domestic carriers Aerolíneas Sosa, CM Airlines, Lanhsa and Aero Caribe Honduras, plus charter operations. The 2023 passenger count (186,570) is press-confirmed; the cited 2025 figure (95,982) could not be independently verified in public sources but is directionally consistent with reporting on the thin route network and a 40+ year old runway needing repair/resurfacing that constrains larger modern aircraft (renovation underway 2026).
