History
[edit]The company was founded in 2001 by Atlantic Airlines, an airline from Nicaragua, using assets from Rollins Air.[2] In October 2008, Atlantic Airlines de Honduras cancelled all flights[citation needed] and the bad safety reputation it had received following the crash of one of its Boeing 737-200 aircraft (registered YV102T) on 30 August of that year, killing the three persons on board.[3] In 2009, the company was disestablished.[2]
Fleet
[edit]The Atlantic Airlines de Honduras fleet mainly consisted of up to six Boeing 737-200 aircraft,[4] as well as twelve Let L-410 Turbolets.[1] Additionally, at a time airliners of the types Fokker F27 Friendship, Fairchild Hiller FH-227 and Hawker Siddeley HS 748 were operated.[2]
