In the aftermath of the crash of a TACA A320-200 that overran the runway at Tegucigalpa International Airport on Friday, taking the life of four people and injuring 81, the President of Honduras announced the airport will be shut down indefinitely and replaced by a nearby military airfield.
The new facility is expected to be ready within 60 days. In the meantime all international air traffic has been diverted to Ramon Villeda Moreales Inernational Airport in San Pedro Sula.
As you might imagine, the increased volume of traffic at this airport has caused delays with customs and immigration lines and the government plans to increase staff at the airport.
