With this, Palmerola adds a new international airline and increases the air connectivity of central Honduras.

"The start of Aeromexico's operations in Palmerola fills us with pride and, without a doubt, strengthens the ties between Honduras and Mexico, two sister countries that continue to write," said Fleming.

Mexico's ambassador to Honduras, David Jiménez, said Aeromexico's arrival in Palmerola would unite two more sister cities. "Mexico's relationship with Honduras is historic, fraternal, fraternal and loving. This unites us as a people and we are happy to witness this moment," Jiménez said.
