Airport contact
Remote Mosquito Coast gateway airstrip on the shore of the Caratasca Lagoon; a single unpaved (dirt) runway is Puerto Lempira's principal transport link since no paved highway reaches the town. Domestic-only service with very minimal infrastructure — no tower, no confirmed fuel, no published passenger statistics; listed contact is AHAC's Tegucigalpa headquarters line, not a local airport line.

CM Airlines
CM Airlines launched as its founding route in August 2008 with Tegucigalpa-Puerto Lempira service and continues to operate scheduled/charter flights to MHPL; no independent FBO or third-party ground handler was identified at this remote Mosquito Coast airstrip, so the carrier is presumed to self-handle its own check-in and baggage at this station.

AeroCaribe de Honduras
Small La Ceiba-based domestic carrier (fleet of one Let L-410 and one Cessna 206) that lists Puerto Lempira among its routes on its own site (aerocaribehn.com, booking module still under construction) and in Wikipedia/airline-profile sources, corroborated by a company-posted video filmed at Puerto Lempira, Gracias a Dios; no dedicated ground handler exists at this station, so any operations here would be self-handled.
