Location
Portalón, Costa Rica
Portalón Airport (ICAO: MRPL) is a small general aviation airstrip located in the Portalón area of Costa Rica, situated in the southern Pacific region of the country. It serves as a local access point for the surrounding rural communities and agricultural areas. The airport primarily handles light aircraft and small charter flights, providing connectivity to remote areas that are otherwise difficult to reach by road. It does not currently hold an IATA code, reflecting its status as a minor domestic airstrip rather than a scheduled commercial airport. Due to its limited infrastructure and small scale, Portalón Airport is not a major hub for any airline and lacks the facilities typical of larger Costa Rican airports such as Juan Santamaría International.
