At an event held at the Palmerola International Airport, led by the Constitutional President of the Republic of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez; Aeromexico announced that as of December 2, it will connect Mexico City and Tegucigalpa directly with three weekly flights, representing a 43% increase in its total monthly seat capacity between Mexico and Honduras.

Without any doubt, this is just the beginning of a successful path”.
