Albrook "Marcos A. Gelabert" International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Albrook "Marcos A. Gelabert") (IATA: PAC, ICAO: MPMG) is a public airport located 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi; 0.81 nmi) west of the center of Panama City, in the Panamá Province of Panama.[2] It is on the site of the former Albrook Air Force Station. Previously, the airport was located in the area of Paitilla Punta Paitilla, operating approximately 70 years until January 1999, when the airport moved operations to Albrook. The name was changed to honor the Panamanian aviator Marcos A. Gelabert, whose contributions to Panamanian aviation included founding Panama's first airline and first school for training pilots.

Air Panama offers daily flights to many cities in Panama and other countries from Albrook Airport. Its corporate headquarters are located on the airport property.[6]
