Tela Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto de Tela) (IATA: TEA, ICAO: MHTE) is an airport serving Tela, a town in the Atlántida Department on the northern coast of Honduras.
In 2009, plans were laid to lengthen the runway from 1,346 metres (4,416 ft) to 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) and to possibly construct a new terminal building.[3] Construction was estimated to cost US$13 million.[4]
After construction, the new runway and terminal were inaugurated by Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández on May 20, 2015.[5]
