By road the cargo of Puerto San José travels a few kilometres to the docks rather than to the runway: San José Airport (GSJ/MGSJ) sits right beside Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala's main Pacific seaport for sugar, coffee and containers. The airfield itself handles essentially no freight and serves mainly general aviation. Regional shipments move through the adjacent seaport or by air via La Aurora (GUA). For forwarders, the draw here is maritime, with the airstrip playing only a minor supporting part.
