History
Originally established as Sol Air in January 2002, the airline leased a
Aeropostal acquired a 45% stake in the company and rebranded it as AeroHonduras; the airline's President, Ricardo Martinez, retained the remaining 55% stake.[2]
On August 5, 2005, AeroHonduras suspended operations after its only operating
Boeing 737-300 leased from Falcon Air Express and was taken back by the company.
