## Description

Puerto Barrios is a freight name because of its harbour, not its airstrip. The airport (PBR/MGPB) on Guatemala's Caribbean coast sits beside the country's principal Atlantic ports — Puerto Barrios and Santo Tomás de Castilla — which move bananas, containers and bulk cargo. The airfield itself handles essentially no air freight and is used mainly for light regional and general-aviation flights, so time-critical air shipments route through La Aurora (GUA) in the capital. The local logistics story is a sea story.
