Airport contact
Lost its role as Honduras's primary international gateway after Palmerola/XPL opened in 2021, which absorbed most large-jet international and domestic trunk traffic; Toncontín now functions mainly as a domestic feeder (Aerolíneas Sosa, CM Airlines and similar regional/charter carriers), still limited to smaller aircraft because of its short runway in a mountain valley — long regarded as one of the most demanding approaches in the Americas. Some limited international/charter service reportedly continues; confirm current route network and customs/immigration operating status with AHAC.

Swissport GBH Honduras S.A.
Older airport profile data (CAPA) lists Swissport as a passenger ground handler and caterer at TGU from the airport's former international-hub era; current corroborated activity is limited to the air cargo warehouse, since TGU became domestic-only in December 2021 and no current source confirms passenger ramp handling.

Aerolíneas Sosa
La Ceiba-based domestic carrier listed with a handler entry for Toncontin in the Business Air News FBO/handler directory; consistent with the common pattern of small Honduran carriers self-handling their own flights at TGU, though explicit self-handling confirmation is weak.
