Delta 552
I am scheduled to travel on flight DL552 TGU (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) to Atlanta in one week's time. I've noticed for the past several days this flight has flown first to San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Approx. 30 min later the plane continues on to Atlanta. Upon further investigation, the American Airlines (TGU-MIA) flight has also been making stops in San Pedro Sula for approximately the past week.
This is supposed to be a direct flight, so I assume there is some operational factor going on. It is worth noting that the UA TGU-IAH flight does NOT make this stop. Copa/Avianca flights also depart Tegucigalpa as normal.
Can anyone offer advice as to what might be the cause? It is worth noting as well the direct SAP-ATL flight is continuing to operate separately.
Thanks!
