About Coatepeque Airport
Coatepeque Airport (CTF) is a small regional airport serving Coatepeque, a city in the Quetzaltenango Department of southwestern Guatemala. It operates mainly as a domestic gateway for the surrounding agricultural and commercial region, supporting general aviation, private charters and limited scheduled regional services.
Located southwest of the Coatepeque municipal centre, the airport has a compact single-terminal layout and one asphalt runway of about 900 metres. Its small scale keeps passenger movement straightforward, with basic check-in, waiting and arrivals functions concentrated in a single building.
The airport lies only a short distance from central Coatepeque and is reached by local roads, taxis and private transfers. Domestic connections, including services operated by TAG Airlines, link Coatepeque with larger hubs such as Quetzaltenango and Guatemala City.
Passenger facilities remain modest, although Guatemala's civil aviation authority has carried out maintenance and improvement work to keep the airport functional for regional travel. For most international visitors, Coatepeque Airport works best as a local access point within a wider itinerary based around larger gateways.
