What Travelers Love
  • Scenic Flights: The journey to Corn Island offers amazing views of the islands from the plane.
  • Efficient Immigration & Security (Domestic): Travelers often experience quick and hassle-free check-in and security when flying domestically from Managua. Immigration and customs procedures are generally straightforward.
  • Easy Onward Transportation: Upon arrival, taxis are abundant and affordable (around $2 USD per person or C$20.00) to take visitors to hotels or the pier for connections to Little Corn Island.
  • Refurbished Terminal: The terminal underwent modernization and refurbishment by 2013, including new infrastructure and X-ray machines.
Common Complaints
  • Limited Terminal Amenities: Reviews indicate low satisfaction with terminal facilities, Wi-Fi, and food and retail services. Although two cafeterias were added during refurbishment, the overall offering seems basic.
  • Small Aircraft: Flights to Corn Island are typically on small propeller planes (14-50 seats), which may not be comfortable for all travelers.
  • Panga Wait Times (Connecting to Little Corn): While taxis from the airport are efficient, travelers might face waits for the panga boat to Little Corn Island, especially if not timed perfectly with flight arrivals.

Corn Island Airport primarily serves as a functional, no-frills entry point to the beautiful Corn Islands. While the terminal offers basic services, its main strength lies in providing quick access and seamless ground transportation connections to explore the islands' natural beauty.
