The accident yesterday in Tegucigalpa, Honduras was tragic, but it appears to me that landing there isn’t that easy in the best of weather. If it is raining and foggy, then the difficulty increases.
Here is a video I found on YouTube showing the approach that is required to land in Tegucigalpa. Imagine a rain filled [...]

On February 18, 2008, TACA had its inaugural flight to David, beginning a service that will allow travelers to come to David without spending the night in Panama City.

I had to go to the airport today and it has been a while since I was there last. The car rental building has made a lot of progress and it doesn’t look that far away from opening.
The most interesting part of going to the airport today was that the main road going to the [...]

I have mixed emotions about David’s airport initiating flights to the US. The first flight that has been announced is a Copa flight from Florida to David. The initial flights will be using planes in the 737 class until the runways are enlarged for the larger class planes.
For many, this may be looked at as [...]

I needed to stop by the David airport today to purchase a ticket. While I was in line to buy my ticket, I over heard a couple complaining about having to pay for excess poundage on their bags. If I remember correctly you get 30 pounds per person and over that will cost you.
