Captain Ramon Xatruch Airport was an airport serving La Palma, a port town and the capital of the Darién Province of Panama. The runway is now the main street for the town, with buildings lining both sides.[2]
La Palma is now served by Miraflores Airport, 7km (04miles) to the south.
La Palma still hosts the La Palma VOR (Ident: PML) which is atop a hill in the center of the town.[3]
