Ilopango International Airport

Ilopango International Airport (MSSS) is a medium airport in San Salvador, El Salvador. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code MSSS or IATA code ILS. It sits in North America.

Ilopango International Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

Ilopango International Airport lies at 2,027 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/El_Salvador. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess inventory for MSSS updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

Ilopango International Airport is an airport located on the eastern part of the city of San Salvador, El Salvador, once serving the city as its international airport until 1980 when it was replaced by the larger and more modern El Salvador International Airport, located about 50 km south of the city. Currently, Ilopango is used for military, air taxi, and charter aviation only. It also holds the annual Ilopango Air Show. The airport is also home to the National Aviation Museum of San Salvador, which is housed in the old terminal building.
