It is located {{Convert|6.4|km|abbr=on}}<ref name="AIP"/> south of Guatemala City's center and {{convert|25|km|abbr=on}} from [[Antigua Guatemala]]. It is administered by the [[Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (Guatemala)|Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil]]. La Aurora International Airport is the primary airport of Guatemala. The airport went through a massive modernization and expansion. The airport is now able to accept a greater number of flights and larger aircraft. It provides high standard installations to the traveler. The old terminal has been renovated in accordance with its original design. It was partly demolished and was expanded with a new glass-designed concourse and is now able to accommodate up to twenty-two aircraft. {{Citation needed|date=October 2015}} The greater project was completed by December 2008. The airport currently has two terminals: Central and North. La Aurora International Airport is [[List of the busiest airports in Central America|the fourth-busiest airport in Central America]] in terms of passenger traffic, surpassed only by [[Tocumen International Airport]] in Panamá, [[Juan Santamaría International Airport]] in Costa Rica, and [[Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport]] in El Salvador. == Overview == La Aurora is being renovated, along with other airports in Guatemala, such as [[Mundo Maya International Airport]], [[Quetzaltenango Airport]], [[Puerto Barrios Airport]], and [[San José Airport (Guatemala)|San José Airport]]. In July 2007, seven new gates were opened. These gates are equipped with jetway bridges and modern conveniences, also a new parking garage was also built and it can handle up to 500 vehicles. There are brand new ticket counters. 2007 brought significant gate expansion (11 new gates were available starting December 2007). The airport now has two concourses. The northern concourse has 12 traditional gates and three remote gates. The central concourse, is used for larger aircraft as it provides 4–6 gates depending on the size of the aircraft. The airport's runway currently measures {{Convert|2987|x|60|m|abbr=on|0}}.<ref name="AIP"/> There have been efforts in the past to expand the runway but this has not yet been possible since there's a commercial area to the north of the runway and a small ravine near the southern side of the runway. Still, the renovation of the runway is in progress. The first phase consists in repaving the runway as well modernizing the illumination system. Future plans to expand the taxiway repave and move all the cargo facilities to [[San José Airport (Guatemala)|San José Airport]] in [[Escuintla]] and [[Puerto Barrios Airport]] in [[Izabal Department|Izabal]]. This will make room for more passenger terminal area and improved taxiways. Finally, the airport administration building is being refurbished and a regional terminal is being built. La Aurora International Airport has two exclusive VIP lounges: Los Añejos Business Lounge and Copa Club, a VIP lounge for passengers traveling on [[Copa Airlines]] and [[United Airlines]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.copaair.com/sites/cc/es/nuestros-productos/pages/presidents-club.aspx |title=Archived copy |access-date=2011-10-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928095353/http://www.copaair.com/Sites/CC/es/Nuestros-productos/Pages/Presidents-Club.aspx |archive-date=28 September 2011 }}</ref> Cargo operations are handled beside the passenger terminal building by COMBEX-IM or in the DHL hangars.

The first American personnel began arriving in December 1941; the airfield was improved and expanded by the [[805th Engineer Aviation Battalion (United States)|United States' 805th Engineer Aviation Battalion]] in early 1942. During its period of American use, the military facilities of the airport were known as '''Guatemala City Air Base'''. Flying units assigned to the airport were: * [[51st Fighter Squadron]] (Detachment) ([[32d Air Operations Group|32d Fighter Group]]), 2 January 1942 – 9 March 1943, (P-40 Warhawk) * [[74th Bombardment Squadron]] ([[40th Air Expeditionary Wing|40th]], [[6th Air Mobility Wing|6th Bombardment Groups]]), 9 January 1942 – 7 April 1944 (B-18 Bolo, B-17 Flying Fortress) * [[44th Bombardment Squadron]] ([[40th Air Expeditionary Wing|40th Bombardment Group]]) 6 July 1942 – 4 June 1943, (B-18 Bolo) Detachments from the airfield operated intermittently from [[Juan Santamaría International Airport|San Jose Airport]], [[San José, Costa Rica]], and [[Puerto San José]], [[Guatemala]] from 1942 though 1944. After the war ended, a small number of Americans remained at the airport performing training duties with the Guatemalan Air Force and also operating a weather station (MATS 6th Weather Squadron). United States personnel were restricted to base during the [[Guatemalan revolution]] following the death of [[Francisco Javier Arana|Colonel Francisco Xavier Arana]] on 18 July 1949. Some artillery shells landed on the base during the violence. The facility was closed on 28 July 1949 and turned over to Guatemalan authorities. In October 2004, Spanish carrier [[Iberia]] introduced nonstop service to [[Madrid]] aboard Airbus A340s. The new route resulted from the airline's decision to shut down its [[Miami]] hub, through which flights to Guatemala City used to operate.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.nacion.com/economia/espanola-iberia-reanuda-sus-vuelos-directos-a-guatemala/FV3KJANA6NFUDCJMW3RHUCRAZM/story/ | title=Española Iberia reanuda sus vuelos directos a Guatemala | work=La Nación | date=3 October 2004 | agency=ACAN-EFE | accessdate=25 November 2021 | language=Spanish | archivedate=22 November 2021 | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122044512/https://www.nacion.com/economia/espanola-iberia-reanuda-sus-vuelos-directos-a-guatemala/FV3KJANA6NFUDCJMW3RHUCRAZM/story/}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.travelweekly.com/Destinations2001-2007/Iberia-changes-include-boost-in-U-S-service | title=Iberia changes include boost in U.S. service | work=Travel Weekly | date=12 January 2004 | accessdate=25 November 2021 | author=Kiesnoski, Kenneth}}</ref> The airport was closed for six months in [[2020 in Guatemala|2020]], from March to September, in response to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Guatemala|COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Guatemala cumple seis meses de pandemia con la cifra más alta de muertes del istmo |url=https://www.msn.com/es-mx/noticias/internacional/guatemala-cumple-seis-meses-de-pandemia-con-la-cifra-m%C3%A1s-alta-de-muertes-del-istmo/ar-BB18ZwJq?ocid=msedgntp |access-date=Sep 13, 2020 |work=www.msn.com |agency=EFE}}</ref> ==Airlines and destinations== ===Passenger=== [[File:MGGT1.jpg|thumb|Check-in counters at the airport.]] [[File:MGGT5.jpg|thumb|Main corridor at the airport.]] [[File:MGGT11.jpg|thumb|Waiting room at the airport.]] [[File:MGGT8.jpg|thumb|Main corridor at the airport.]] <!-- Please use only independent sources.

It is located {{Convert|6.4|km|abbr=on}}<ref name="AIP"/> south of Guatemala City's center and {{convert|25|km|abbr=on}} from [[Antigua Guatemala]]. It is administered by the [[Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (Guatemala)|Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil]]. La Aurora International Airport is the primary airport of Guatemala. The airport went through a massive modernization and expansion. The airport is now able to accept a greater number of flights and larger aircraft. It provides high standard installations to the traveler. The old terminal has been renovated in accordance with its original design. It was partly demolished and was expanded with a new glass-designed concourse and is now able to accommodate up to twenty-two aircraft. {{Citation needed|date=October 2015}} The greater project was completed by December 2008. The airport currently has two terminals: Central and North. La Aurora International Airport is [[List of the busiest airports in Central America|the fourth-busiest airport in Central America]] in terms of passenger traffic, surpassed only by [[Tocumen International Airport]] in Panamá, [[Juan Santamaría International Airport]] in Costa Rica, and [[Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport]] in El Salvador. == Overview == La Aurora is being renovated, along with other airports in Guatemala, such as [[Mundo Maya International Airport]], [[Quetzaltenango Airport]], [[Puerto Barrios Airport]], and [[San José Airport (Guatemala)|San José Airport]]. In July 2007, seven new gates were opened. These gates are equipped with jetway bridges and modern conveniences, also a new parking garage was also built and it can handle up to 500 vehicles. There are brand new ticket counters. 2007 brought significant gate expansion (11 new gates were available starting December 2007). The airport now has two concourses. The northern concourse has 12 traditional gates and three remote gates. The central concourse, is used for larger aircraft as it provides 4–6 gates depending on the size of the aircraft. The airport's runway currently measures {{Convert|2987|x|60|m|abbr=on|0}}.<ref name="AIP"/> There have been efforts in the past to expand the runway but this has not yet been possible since there's a commercial area to the north of the runway and a small ravine near the southern side of the runway. Still, the renovation of the runway is in progress. The first phase consists in repaving the runway as well modernizing the illumination system. Future plans to expand the taxiway repave and move all the cargo facilities to [[San José Airport (Guatemala)|San José Airport]] in [[Escuintla]] and [[Puerto Barrios Airport]] in [[Izabal Department|Izabal]]. This will make room for more passenger terminal area and improved taxiways. Finally, the airport administration building is being refurbished and a regional terminal is being built. La Aurora International Airport has two exclusive VIP lounges: Los Añejos Business Lounge and Copa Club, a VIP lounge for passengers traveling on [[Copa Airlines]] and [[United Airlines]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.copaair.com/sites/cc/es/nuestros-productos/pages/presidents-club.aspx |title=Archived copy |access-date=2011-10-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928095353/http://www.copaair.com/Sites/CC/es/Nuestros-productos/Pages/Presidents-Club.aspx |archive-date=28 September 2011 }}</ref> Cargo operations are handled beside the passenger terminal building by COMBEX-IM or in the DHL hangars.

The first American personnel began arriving in December 1941; the airfield was improved and expanded by the [[805th Engineer Aviation Battalion (United States)|United States' 805th Engineer Aviation Battalion]] in early 1942. During its period of American use, the military facilities of the airport were known as '''Guatemala City Air Base'''. Flying units assigned to the airport were: * [[51st Fighter Squadron]] (Detachment) ([[32d Air Operations Group|32d Fighter Group]]), 2 January 1942 – 9 March 1943, (P-40 Warhawk) * [[74th Bombardment Squadron]] ([[40th Air Expeditionary Wing|40th]], [[6th Air Mobility Wing|6th Bombardment Groups]]), 9 January 1942 – 7 April 1944 (B-18 Bolo, B-17 Flying Fortress) * [[44th Bombardment Squadron]] ([[40th Air Expeditionary Wing|40th Bombardment Group]]) 6 July 1942 – 4 June 1943, (B-18 Bolo) Detachments from the airfield operated intermittently from [[Juan Santamaría International Airport|San Jose Airport]], [[San José, Costa Rica]], and [[Puerto San José]], [[Guatemala]] from 1942 though 1944. After the war ended, a small number of Americans remained at the airport performing training duties with the Guatemalan Air Force and also operating a weather station (MATS 6th Weather Squadron). United States personnel were restricted to base during the [[Guatemalan revolution]] following the death of [[Francisco Javier Arana|Colonel Francisco Xavier Arana]] on 18 July 1949. Some artillery shells landed on the base during the violence. The facility was closed on 28 July 1949 and turned over to Guatemalan authorities. In October 2004, Spanish carrier [[Iberia]] introduced nonstop service to [[Madrid]] aboard Airbus A340s. The new route resulted from the airline's decision to shut down its [[Miami]] hub, through which flights to Guatemala City used to operate.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.nacion.com/economia/espanola-iberia-reanuda-sus-vuelos-directos-a-guatemala/FV3KJANA6NFUDCJMW3RHUCRAZM/story/ | title=Española Iberia reanuda sus vuelos directos a Guatemala | work=La Nación | date=3 October 2004 | agency=ACAN-EFE | accessdate=25 November 2021 | language=Spanish | archivedate=22 November 2021 | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122044512/https://www.nacion.com/economia/espanola-iberia-reanuda-sus-vuelos-directos-a-guatemala/FV3KJANA6NFUDCJMW3RHUCRAZM/story/}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.travelweekly.com/Destinations2001-2007/Iberia-changes-include-boost-in-U-S-service | title=Iberia changes include boost in U.S. service | work=Travel Weekly | date=12 January 2004 | accessdate=25 November 2021 | author=Kiesnoski, Kenneth}}</ref> The airport was closed for six months in [[2020 in Guatemala|2020]], from March to September, in response to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Guatemala|COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Guatemala cumple seis meses de pandemia con la cifra más alta de muertes del istmo |url=https://www.msn.com/es-mx/noticias/internacional/guatemala-cumple-seis-meses-de-pandemia-con-la-cifra-m%C3%A1s-alta-de-muertes-del-istmo/ar-BB18ZwJq?ocid=msedgntp |access-date=Sep 13, 2020 |work=www.msn.com |agency=EFE}}</ref> ==Airlines and destinations== ===Passenger=== [[File:MGGT1.jpg|thumb|Check-in counters at the airport.]] [[File:MGGT5.jpg|thumb|Main corridor at the airport.]] [[File:MGGT11.jpg|thumb|Waiting room at the airport.]] [[File:MGGT8.jpg|thumb|Main corridor at the airport.]] <!-- Please use only independent sources.
