Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, commonly known as Comalapa, is El Salvador's principal international gateway, situated on the Pacific coastal plain at San Luis Talpa in the Departamento de La Paz, south-east of the capital San Salvador. It offers a single long, ILS-equipped runway and full instrument approach facilities, making it a straightforward if busy destination for a simulated airline or long-haul flight into Central America.
Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport serves as the main airport for San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, though it is physically located well outside the city at San Luis Talpa in the Departamento de La Paz. It is named in honour of the Salvadoran archbishop Óscar Arnulfo Romero and is also widely known by its older name, Comalapa International Airport. For a simulator pilot it presents a large, modern international field with a single very long hard-surfaced runway served by an instrument landing system on both ends, typical of a scheduled-airline hub rather than a general aviation strip.
The airport lies at San Luis Talpa in the Departamento de La Paz, on El Salvador's Pacific coastal plain to the south-east of San Salvador city, which it serves as the country's main international airport.
The airport has a single physical runway, 07/25, a hard-surfaced strip of approximately 10,488 feet in length. It is lit for night operations and equipped with an instrument landing system serving approaches from both directions, reflecting its role as a major international airline gateway.
Radio services at the airport include Approach on 119.9 MHz, ATIS on 127.6 MHz, Clearance Delivery on 121.25 MHz, Ground on 121.7 MHz, Radio on 126.9 MHz and Tower on 118 MHz. The field is equipped with an instrument landing system on runway 07/25, supporting precision approaches in both directions.
The airport continues to operate as El Salvador's principal international airport, handling scheduled commercial airline services to destinations across the Americas.
