Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional Ramón Villeda Morales) (IATA: SAP, ICAO: MHLM), also known as La Mesa International Airport, is located 11 kilometres (7 mi) southeast of the city of San Pedro Sula, in the Cortés Department of Honduras.
The airport is named after Ramón Villeda Morales, who served as President of Honduras from 1957 to 1963. It is the major and busiest airport in Honduras, handling about 1,022,924 passengers in 2018. The airport also handles about 150 flights internationally and domestically.

Review it now!
As for the airport, although I cannot 100% vouch for its accuracy, given that I'm not a local, nor have I visited this airport, the quality is very good. Especially for 16 Euros. As I said, MHLM has been sorely lacking from our virtual skies. Sierrasim did a very nice job with it. The textures for the groundpoly are especially nice, and seem fitting for this airport. The modeling of the terminals is sufficiently detailed, and performance is no problem at all for me. I can recommend it!
Not only does it provide an accurate and modern representation of the airport, but it also comes with features such as dynamic lighting and 3D volumetric grass. It is furthermore also very fluid and its performance is really good.
Some shortcomings that I would desire the developer to address in the future include the addition of moving vehicles (not a lot, maybe just one or two), to create a more lively airport environment, as well as the provision of SODE jetways which would greatly complement the scenery.
Otherwise it proves to be a nice addition to anyone's collection who wishes to discover more exotic and less known places on our planet. It certainly receives the thumbs up from me!
