El Bluff Airport (ICAO: MNFF) was an airport on El Bluff, once an island in the entrance to Bluefields Bay, South Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region, Nicaragua, but now connected to the mainland via a causeway constructed between 2004 and 2007.[3] Google Earth Historical Imagery show progressive deterioration of the asphalt runway until a helicopter pad and hangar were built on the southwestern end in 2013. The hangar was torn down and the helipad markings removed sometime after 2015.[4]
The area is now served by Bluefields Airport (IATA: BEF, ICAO: MNBL) 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) across the bay at Bluefields, the regional capital.
