ONX is the airport code associated with Colon, a port city on the Caribbean coast of Panama, at the Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal. Colon is best known for the Colon Free Zone, one of the largest free-trade zones in the world, a huge duty-free commercial hub, and as the northern gateway to the canal, where great ships enter and leave through the Gatun Locks nearby. For visitors, the area is a base for exploring the Caribbean side of Panama: the historic Spanish colonial forts of Portobelo and San Lorenzo, once key to the treasure trade and now UNESCO-listed, the palm-fringed beaches and islands, and the rainforest and birdlife around the canal. Colon is reached by road and railway from Panama City, a short distance across the isthmus, and by its airport. The climate is hot, humid and tropical, with heavy rainfall, especially on this Caribbean coast.
