Honduras's ousted President, Manuel Zelaya, has failed in a dramatic attempt to fly back to his country, BBC reported.
His plane circled the Tegucigalpa airport, but it could not land as the authorities had blocked the runway.
Earlier at least two people were killed as troops fended off Zelaya supporters converging on the airport.
Mr Zelaya, who was ousted a week ago, has now arrived in neighbouring El Salvador, where he is due to meet regional leaders, who support him.
After several failed attempts to land at Tegucigalpa airport, where military vehicles were placed on the runway, the plane eventually flew to Nigaragua, where Mr Zelaya met President Daniel Ortega.
