Air Europa will launch a new direct fight from the Spanish capital of Madrid to the second largest Honduran city, San Pedro Sula in April 2017.
The single weekly flight will operate until October, just in time for Europe’s high season for tourism. These new routes are set to increase European tourism for Honduras, while also encouraging more Hondurans to travel abroad.
This new route represents another step forward for economic development for Honduras, where the government has vowed to continue investing in tourism as a part of its Economic Development Plan, Honduras 20/20. This project is said to create over 7000 jobs for Hondurans, while lowering costs for travelers.
Honduras has some of the highest levels of connectivity with Spain in Central America with 27.2% and with Guatemala and El Salvador with 13.5% and 18% respectively, with hopes of increasing that number even higher after the new route takes place.
“This [new flight] means that we will have an open door to specific European destinations like Barcelona, Bilbao, La Coruña, Vigo, Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, Valencia, Alicante, Málaga, Tenerife, the Canary Islands, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Munich, Roma, Milan, Brussels, Amsterdam, Lisbon and Oporto, among other cities”, declared President Hernández.
Air Europa will employ an A330-200 with 275 economy class seats and 24 in first class.
