“The Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa will be without an international airport for two months after authorities banned all but domestic flights there following a deadly air crash, officials said on Monday.

The country will adapt a military airstrip for civilian use after a Salvadoran passenger plane skidded off a runway last week at Tegucigalpa’s airport and smashed into cars and a building. Five people died.

In the meantime, international flights into the country must arrive at San Pedro Sula, 100 miles (165 km) from Tegucigalpa.”*
