AeroHonduras S.A./C.V. was an airline based at Toncontín International Airport in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. It operated scheduled flights within Central America and the United States.

History

Originally established as Sol Air in January 2002, the airline leased a Boeing 727-200 from Falcon Air Express and started operations on July 12 of that year.[1] In July 2004, the Venezuelan state-owned airline Aeropostal acquired a 45% stake in the company and rebranded it as AeroHonduras; the airline's President, Ricardo Martinez, retained the remaining 55% stake.[2]

On August 5, 2005, AeroHonduras suspended operations after its only operating Boeing 737-300 leased from Falcon Air Express and was taken back by the company. Although the airline initially indicated that it was a temporary move, there had been issues with financial payment for services, delays associated with repairs and financial mismanagement associated with its suspension of service.[3][4]
