The country's primary airport is [[Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport]], which handles all international flights. It replaced [[Ilopango International Airport]] as the country's main airport on 31 January 1980. Ilopango airport is located within the city limits and could not be expanded due to the lack of land and the proximity of the surrounding population, so the new airport was built outside the city in the neighboring department of La Paz.

Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport lies on flat terrain, and it is not surrounded by populated areas, so it can be expanded in the future. It is located in the municipality of [[San Luis Talpa]], {{convert|40|km|0|abbr=in}} from San Salvador. With 2,076,258 passengers in 2008, it was the third busiest airport by passenger traffic in Central America

Ilopango International Airport is used for military and charter aviation. It recently underwent renovation, and re-opened in 2009. Ilopango is the host of an annual air show.

Tamarindo Regional: There are plans to rehabilitate the airport on the Eastern Salvadoran coast of El Tamarindo, La Unión.
