<p class="blog-para">RTB is a small airport with a long landing strip. The airport is conveniently located on the western side of Roatan, just off the main road and 3 km away from the Town Center and capital of the island, Coxen Hole. The airstrip sits right next to the clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean. The interior of RTB was remodeled in 2013. Today, RTB has a more modern design with commercial spaces for deli-type food locals and areas for duty-free and souvenir shops.</p>

The airport is named for Juan Manuel G&aacute;lvez (1889-1972), the former president of the Republic of Honduras in 1949&ndash;1952.
