Copán Ruinas Airport (IATA: RUY, ICAO: MHRU) is a newly completed airport serving the town of Copán Ruinas in Honduras. The runway is approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of the town.
The airport was opened in 2015, and is expected to provide easier tourist access to the Mayan ruins at Copán. A second construction phase is planned that will allow aircraft with up to 100 passengers to land.
There are low hills in all quadrants.
The Puerto Barrios VOR-DME (Ident: IOS) is located 55.0 nautical miles (102 km) north-northeast of the airport.
