Taxis are the primary and most reliable form of transportation from the airport. You can find them waiting outside the terminal to meet arriving flights. Fares are not metered, so it is crucial to negotiate and agree on the price with the driver before your journey. Common destinations include the town of Changuinola, the port of Almirante (for boat connections to Bocas del Toro), and the Sixaola border crossing to Costa Rica.
There are no international car rental company desks located within the Changuinola airport terminal. Car rentals in this region are very limited and must be arranged in advance. Some local providers may offer to meet you at the airport for vehicle pickup if you book ahead of time.
There is no direct public bus or shuttle service that stops at the airport terminal. To access public transit, you would need to walk a short distance (approximately 500 meters) from the terminal to the main highway. From there, you can flag down local buses or 'colectivos' that run between Changuinola and Almirante. This option is best suited for those with light luggage and some familiarity with the area.
