Where are Panama's airports?
Panama’s main international airport is located just outside Panama City. Known as Aeropuerto Internacional de Tocumen (Tocumen International Airport), this airport receives flights from around the world. There is also one other international airport in the city of David, but it currently is not running many international flights. The code for the Tocumen International Airport is PTY. David’s airport, which is officially known as Aeropuerto Internacional de David “Enrique Malek,” is coded DAV.
Going through customs is easy and straightforward. After collecting your luggage and having it run through an X-ray machine by Panamanian officials, you will turn in your customs sheet and have your passport stamped. The whole process usually takes around 30 minutes.

David
David, the provincial capital of Chiriquí province, is the second largest city in Panama (pop. 140,000) and the hub for visits to the highlands or other parts of western Panama. Though there are attractive areas within the city, David primarily serves as a place to refuel before launching into other adventures within the region.
Panama City
Panama City is a hub in every sense of the word. Located in the Gulf of Panama along the Pacific Coast, Panama City sits in the heart of the country and serves as the main artery through which the rest of Panama receives its visitors, commerce, and culture.
