✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Utila Airport (UII/MHUT) is a small airstrip serving Utila Island in Honduras’ Bay Islands. Located just east of Utila Town, it handles short domestic flights, mainly from La Ceiba and Roatán, and is a quick alternative to the passenger ferry. The single paved runway and open-air terminal reflect the island’s laid-back, dive-focused vibe.
💡 Local Tip
Bring small lempira notes for taxi/tuk-tuk fares and any airport fees, because ATMs on Utila can run out of cash or be out of service. Also, sit on the left side when flying in from La Ceiba for the best views of the reefs and cays.

The airport is close to Utila Town, so a taxi or tuk-tuk is quick and inexpensive; many guesthouses are within walking distance if you have light luggage. There is no public bus service, so arrange a pickup through your hotel or dive operator if you arrive after dark.
