    they should close that dangerous airport. or flights should be diverted to El Salvador and then fly in a smaller regional aircraft to Honduras.

    Taking the bus is more dangerous than flying into Tegucigalpa, you should know. No airport , bar none, with airline service can be considered dangerous because if it was, no airline would fly there.

    this a320 landed too fast and too hight.. there`s a video on youtube that shows a A 318 landing on the middle of the runway ! U.u but i was a a318 was smaller than this one ! ! on my country ( Peru ) there`s the Jorge Chavez the measures of the runway are ! wide: 15 metters ( i guess ) per

    7.000metters ! even with those measures an A380 wouldnt land here U.u ! Sh1t xD :)
