Palmerola International Airport began operations 24/7 on June 1 with Avianca flights.

With Copa night flights, there will be two airlines operating at night and hoping to join more in the coming months.

Peter Fleming, CEO of Emco Group's Airports Division, said the Copa's overnight operation in Palmerola will benefit passengers as they will have more connection options.

"We are very pleased with the increase in air operations carried out by the airport, offering opportunities to passengers over several hours and frequencies, more competitive ticket prices, quality services and ensuring operational safety," said the executive.

Palmerola managed to relaunch and recover air traffic in central Honduras, which increased by 46% with the new terminal compared to the previous year.
