note
National airline of Honduras was founded in 1945 with the help of Pan American World Airways. Operations commenced using Douglas DC-2 and DC-3 aircraft. Pan Am sold its stake in company in 1970. In October 1974 SAHSA received its first pure jet a Boeing 737-200. SAHSA served destinations in Central America as well as Miami and New Orleans in the USA. Oswaldo López Arellano, a dictator who ruled Honduras between 1963 and 1975, owned SAHSA and its rival TAN airlines. Both airlines merged in 1990 to form TAN-SAHSA airlines. This company operated until 1994 when it became bankrupt.
