CM Airlines to Launch San Pedro Sula-Río Amarillo Flights in November

Amarillo, TX, September 26, 2026 —

CM Airlines has announced plans to commence a new air route connecting San Pedro Sula with Río Amarillo, Honduras. The service is scheduled to begin on November 1, with the stated objective of re-establishing air travel to the region of Copán.

The new flights are intended to provide a direct connection between San Pedro Sula, the country’s second-largest city and a major economic hub, and Río Amarillo, an area near the renowned Mayan ruins of Copán. This initiative aims to facilitate easier access for tourists and business travelers to a historically significant and culturally rich destination.

Information regarding the frequency of these flights, the type of aircraft to be utilized, and specific departure and arrival times was not immediately available. The contractor’s name, if different from CM Airlines, was also not provided. The precise impact on local tourism and economic activity is yet to be determined as the service prepares for its launch.

The re-establishment of air service to the Copán region is a development anticipated by stakeholders in the tourism sector, who have noted the challenges associated with reaching the archaeological site via ground transportation. This new route seeks to address those logistical hurdles, potentially boosting visitor numbers and supporting local businesses in the area.

Further details about ticket availability, pricing, and booking procedures are expected to be released by CM Airlines in the period leading up to the November 1 launch date. The company’s operational plans for the route will be closely watched by potential passengers and the wider aviation industry in Honduras.
