Honduras’ Palmerola Airport receives first passengers

The new Palmerola International Airport in Honduras has welcomed its first passengers, with Spirit Airlines as the first scheduled carrier. This comes following five years of planning, developing, as well as commissioning. Spirit Airlines has regular flights from Houston and four weekly flights from Miami. As of now, around five airlines are running global flights to Palmerola Airport. American Airlines links Palmerola twelve times per week with Miami and three times weekly with Dallas while United Airlines provides a daily service to Houston. Avianca runs daily flights to El Salvador and four times weekly to Guatemala City, and Copa Airlines operates daily flights to Panama City. From next month, Spirit Airlines intends to introduce additional flights to Ford Lauderdale while AeroMexico aims to add flights to Mexico City.<br/>
