The Aeropuerto Internacional de El Salvador (AIES) Cargo Terminal handled 39.7 million kilograms of cargo in 2025, solidifying its position as a key pillar for foreign trade, logistics, and the country’s economic growth, reported the Comisión Ejecutiva Portuaria Autónoma (CEPA).
This cargo volume reflects the dynamism of air freight operations and the growing confidence of national and international companies in El Salvador’s logistics platform. AIES manages imports and exports that supply the domestic market and facilitate El Salvador’s connection to strategic destinations in the region and around the world.
Air cargo movement is essential for productive sectors that require speed and efficiency, such as manufacturing, commerce, agricultural exports, and the pharmaceutical industry. High-value products, supplies, raw materials, and finished goods find in the terminal an agile means of distribution, reducing logistics times and costs.
CEPA highlighted that the Cargo Terminal functions as a strategic platform, not only for trade but also for strengthening the country’s logistics chain. Its operation contributes to improving El Salvador’s competitiveness by facilitating the constant flow of goods and supporting the expansion of economic activities related to transportation and warehousing.
The performance recorded in 2025 also has a direct impact on job creation and the growth of associated services, such as logistics operators, land transportation, customs, and international trade. This ecosystem reinforces the role of the AIES as a key node for national economic development.
With these results, the Cargo Terminal at El Salvador’s airport continues to position itself as an engine of growth, driving the country’s integration into global markets and supporting El Salvador’s strategy to strengthen its logistics and trade.
