Huehuetenango Airport guide

Huehuetenango Airport (ICAO MGHT) is a small public aerodrome in the southwestern part of Huehuetenango city, the capital of Huehuetenango Department in western Guatemala. The city sits in a high-elevation basin, and the field is listed at 1,870 m above sea level.

The Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC) runs the aerodrome. It has one asphalt runway, 06/24, about 825 to 836 m long and 30 m wide. Domestic scheduled traffic is light. DGAC statistics for 2023 record 3,774 operations and 20,463 passengers, with October the busiest month at 4,946 passengers. Flights link the aerodrome with Guatemala City.

The passenger building is small. In 2019 the DGAC and the tourism institute INGUAT finished a rehabilitation that covered runway crack repair and repainting, new sanitary facilities and terminal upgrades, plus a tourist information kiosk. The DGAC has since announced a project to enlarge the terminal to roughly 75 square meters, scheduled for 2026.
