Air Europa has celebrated the inaugural Air Europa flight from Madrid’s Adolfo Suarez Barajas airport to San Pedro Sula – the first of its kind to connect Europe directly with Honduras.
Air Europa’s UK MD Colin Stewart said: “We are thrilled about the launch of this new route – our first flight into Central America. It’s also a big coup for our group, Globalia, to be the first European airline to run a direct flight from Spain to Honduras, and will offer huge benefits to our passengers.”
The weekly flight to San Pedro Sula will take off from Madrid at 01.35 on Thursdays, arriving at 04.40 (local time). The inbound flight will land in Madrid on Fridays at 05.15.
UK travellers can connect from the 17.20 flight to Madrid on Wednesdays with a total travel time of just over 18 hours, whilst the return connection is only 2.5 hours with a total travel time of just under 16 hours.
Connecting via Madrid will mean that travellers from the UK can avoid US immigration controls currently required with other flights departing from Europe.
The route, operated with an Airbus 330 -200, with a capacity of 274 economy passengers and 25 in business class is predicted to be over 80% full.
The Honduras route will be Air Europa’s 19th destination in America.
