Aeroméxico to Resume Direct Flights to Palmerola Airport (Tegucigalpa) Starting in March

Redacción - Aviación al Día

Aeroméxico has confirmed the resumption of its direct service between Mexico City and Tegucigalpa, a decision that reinforces its growth strategy in Central America and once again places the Honduran capital within its international network. Operations will be conducted through Palmerola International Airport, the infrastructure that now handles the air traffic for Tegucigalpa and the south-central region of Honduras.

The route will commence operations on March 19, 2026, marking a significant move from both a commercial and regional connectivity standpoint.

Operational Details: Frequencies and Schedules

The Mexican airline will operate four weekly frequencies using the Embraer 190, an aircraft suited for medium-density markets and featuring a product that includes Premier Class—an uncommon differentiator on regional Central American routes.

The schedules are clearly designed to optimize connections at the Mexico City International Airport (AICM) hub, enabling efficient links to both the Mexican domestic network and long-haul international destinations.

Sole Direct Operator Between Mexico and Tegucigalpa

With this resumption, Aeroméxico becomes the only airline offering direct flights between Mexico and Tegucigalpa, a key factor in terms of competitive positioning. The absence of direct competition grants it pricing control and a clear advantage in capturing both point-to-point traffic and connecting passengers.

Impact on the Honduran and Central American Network

By adding Tegucigalpa, Aeroméxico will reach eight weekly flights to Honduras, combining the new service with its existing operations to San Pedro Sula.

At the regional level, the airline currently operates in five additional Central American cities:

With Tegucigalpa included, Aeroméxico will offer a total of 53 weekly flights to Central America, with over 7,000 seats per week in each direction—a figure that underscores the region’s importance within its short- and medium-haul international network.

The resumption of flights to Tegucigalpa represents a measured commitment to a historically underserved market, supported by a robust hub, a suitable regional fleet, and the advantage of operating without direct competition.
