  • 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.

  • Small Aircraft: Flights to Corn Island are typically on small propeller planes (14-50 seats), which may not be comfortable for all travelers.
