Nothing can spark a second home market like an airport, which is why development executives in western Panama are understandably excited by the start of the David airport expansion.
As part of a $30 million upgrade, the primary runway in the Enrique Malek International Airport will be lengthened from 2,100 meters to 2,600 meters. A variety of facilities will also be added to handle more direct international traffic, the Holy Grail for all developers in Central America.
“This will not only open up our province to more tourism, it will help drive down the costs of travel between Panama City and David,” Panama Investor author Sam Taliaferro writes.

David is the capital of the Chiriqui Prvince and not far from Boquette, where Taliaferro’s Valle Escondido project is attracting international buyers.
The expanded airport should be able to handle 737s, which would increase the opportunities for charters from North America and Europe. It should also allow for more traffic from Panama City and the region.
