Taxis are readily available outside the terminal, especially after flight arrivals. They offer direct transportation to the nearby beach resorts (Playa Blanca, Decameron, etc.) and other destinations in the region. It is highly recommended to agree on the fare with the driver before starting your journey, as rates are not always metered.
Several car rental agencies operate at or serve the airport, including companies like Hertz, Thrifty, Dollar, and Ace Rent a Car. Desks may be located within the terminal or nearby, with some companies offering a shuttle service to their off-site offices. Due to the airport's smaller size, it is strongly advised to book a vehicle in advance to ensure availability.
There is no direct public bus service from the airport terminal. To access the public bus system, travelers must take a short taxi ride or walk (approximately 1-2 km) to the Pan-American Highway. From the highway, you can flag down frequent buses heading towards Panama City or further into the country's interior. This is the most economical option but is less convenient, especially with luggage.
Aug 2014- Now fully operational as an official International Airport. Almost no traffic. Just a few Charters on the odd ocassion. Panamas white elephant?
As of January 24, 2012 the airport - new airport facilities - has just begun. A drive by scheduled in the next few days will confirm if the tunnel for the road traffic has been started. Noise or not this airport will be a benifit for everyone! Hell maybe even my Mom can convince my stuck in the mud father to get on the plane for a visit now that the drive will be shortened to 35mins to Penonome!
