Captain Ramon Xatruch Airport (IATA: PLP, ICAO: MPMF) 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, 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) 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]
