| Spotting Locations | |
Statistically, this is the busiest airport in the region. But it is not the best for spotting. More than 90% of the traffic is provided by the local company Copa Airlines. There are few foreign carriers. Good spots for plane pictures can be found on the pedestrian bridges on the highway running along the western perimeter of the airport. However, from there you can only see the traffic of one of the runways. The second is too far. On the plus side, there is active cargo traffic, where the diversity is greater than in the passenger sector.
