A large white airplane is stationed outdoors, surrounded by palm trees and vibrant blue skies with scattered clouds. Bold, colorful letters adorn the side of the aircraft, making a striking focal point in the serene setting. Managua is the capital and largest city of Nicaragua, and one of the largest cities in Central America. Founded in 1819, Managua became the national capital in 1852. The name "Managua" may have originated from the term Mana-ahuac, which in the Nahuatl language translates to "adjacent to the water" or "site surrounded by water", referring to Lake Managua.
