Flights to Guatemala City
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Guatemala City is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is La Aurora International Airport (GUA), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,800 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| La Aurora International Airport | GUA | 7 km (4 mi) | 9,800 ft | 4,952 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,800 ft, GUA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 4,952 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
