From the 1940s, Presidential and governmental air transport was provided by the Air Force, using specially purchased aircraft with VIP interiors. In about 1990 a dedicated Government Aviation Department was established, that provided VIP transport in civil registered aircraft. At present, Honduras and Panama, (which has a Gulfstream IIB), are the only Central American countries with presidential jet aircraft.
