Wednesday, September 19, 2018 According to the report "Transportation in Central America: importance in the regional economy", prepared by the Secretariat for Central American Economic Integration, Panama is the country in the region that has the broadest airport infrastructure, since it has seven international airports, followed by Costa Rica and Honduras with four air terminals each, El Salvador and Guatemala with two each, and finally Nicaragua with an international terminal. The report states that air transport is least used in terms of cargo transport. According to data from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), in 2016 it generated $228 million in exports of this service to Central America.For its part, international volumes of cargo transported by air have decreased since the beginning of 2015 to the present, compared with the figures reported in 2009 and 2010. The downward trend is not only regional, global indicators of air transport volume indicate that these increased at the beginning of 2017, but the monthly growth rate stagnated in June and fell in July (WTO, 2017). Therefore, demand for air cargo in Central America has shown slight growth of 2% in 2011 with respect to the previous year (JICA, 2017).See full report (In Spanish). https://www.centralamericadata.com/en/article/main/Air_Transport_Figures_in_Central_America Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
