Planes Will Pay $350 to Land in Honduras

News on January 27, 2012 by Administrator| Comments Off

The General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics, (DGAC), will begin charging a new, but relatively unknown, fee for services that it provides. The law was stealthily entered into force more than one month ago, without the realization of the general population.

This law was voted on December 15, 2011, with President Porfirio Lobo Sosa, and John Orlando Hernández’s full knowledge. Unlike two previously (reversed) banned tariffs, this new increase was published in the Official Gazette on December 23, 2011, so it is already in force.

Grand Cayman – Honduras Flights Taking Off

News on January 4, 2012 by gringa| Comments Off

A Central American airline that established commercial passenger service between Honduras and Grand Cayman last summer has reported steady growth during recent months, including a sizeable jump in holiday traffic.

Bob Connor, a representative in the Cayman Islands for Aerolineas Sosa, said Monday the Honduras-based carrier had to bring in extra flights to support additional holiday travellers and their luggage. A pair of Wednesday flights were added – the first on 21 December, 2011, and the latter today (Wednesday, 4 January, 2012) – to complement the regularly scheduled flights offered by the airline on Fridays and Sundays since August.

Mr. Connor said Aerolineas Sosa, which offers twice-weekly roundtrip passenger service between its hub at Goloson International Airport in La Ceiba, Honduras and Owen Roberts International Airport in Grand Cayman, also had to fly in a cargo plane to help with excess holiday luggage. Aerolineas Sosa operates the route with a 50-seat Bombardier regional jet.

Airports Temporarily Closed in the A.M.

News on December 13, 2011 by samuel contreras| Comments Off

The airports of Toncontín in Tegucigalpa, Golosón in La Ceiba, and the airstrip in Roatán are temporarily closed this morning due to little visibility and drizzling rain caused by a high pressure front.

San Pedro Sula‘s Ramón Villeda Morales, however, continues to operate international flights.

Civil Aeronautics authorities explained that later in the morning the flights at Toncontín, Golosón and Roatán would resume.

The phenomenon is brought about by cold air that descended from Canada and the United States, and will affect Honduras for the next the 48 hours.
