Distance & flight time from PBR
Puerto Barrios Airport
Puerto Barrios Airport (PBR) serves Puerto Barrios, the main port town on Guatemala's Caribbean coast in the Izabal department. The airport handles light domestic traffic connecting the region to Guatemala City, supporting the area's banana export trade and cargo shipping industry historically tied to the United Fruit Company. Puerto Barrios itself grew around the port, and the airport remains a small regional facility with a single paved runway, mostly used by charter flights, small commuter aircraft, and occasional cargo operations rather than scheduled jet service. It's a useful entry point for travelers exploring the Caribbean side of Guatemala, including nearby Livingston and the Río Dulce area, though most international visitors still arrive via Guatemala City's larger airport.
