TGU is Closed

TGU has been closed to use by large aircraft by the president of Honduras for ever. He plans to switch operation to the Joint US/Honduras military base at Palmarola within 60 days. Most local do not believe this will happen. At present only planes with less than 42 passengers are allowed to use TGU. This would include ATR's and Shorts I guess. There are still flights from SAP to TGU in this class of plane on Taca Regional and some other local operaters. There is also luxury bus service from SAP to TGU, but expect 4-5 hours travel time.
