Roatan Island News

Island Infrastructure Improvements, part 2. Last month the RE/MAX Newsletter in part was about some of the infrastructure improvements in place or planned for Roatan. This month I’ll talk about more improvements, which should be of interest to you. RECO: there is on-going improvement in the grid system as the power company upgrades the existing lines and replaces the old wooden poles with concrete ones. The company is actively pursuing alternate energy solutions and has bought a piece of property for a wind farm, which will provide supplemental power to the grid.

The roads on Roatan are in a maintenance-only situation at this time, which is always a big task!

In 2010, upgrades were completed to the electronic navigation systems at the airport and the entire runway was resurfaced. The tarmac area was re-designed to make space for the new airlines we now have; CAA, CM and LAHNSA at the current time. Charter flights are coming in each week from Milan, Toronto and Montreal.

Roatan has 2 cruise ship ports, Mahogany Bay and Port of Roatan. The latter has been approved for funding to expand once again.
