Gateway to Guatemala's Alta Verapaz highland region.

Location
Cobán, Guatemala
Coban Airport (IATA: CBV, ICAO: MGCB) is a small regional airport serving the city of Cobán, the capital of the Alta Verapaz department in central Guatemala. It provides air access to a region known for its lush cloud forests, indigenous Q'eqchi' Maya culture, and ecotourism attractions. The airport operates limited scheduled and charter services, connecting Cobán with Guatemala City and supporting general aviation activity. Its short runway and highland terrain make it suitable primarily for small turboprop and piston aircraft. Cobán itself is an important commercial and administrative center in northern Guatemala, and the airport plays a modest but meaningful role in linking the region to the rest of the country, particularly given the mountainous road conditions that make overland travel time-consuming.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building handling the limited passenger traffic typical of a regional Guatemalan facility.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport to central Cobán is available via taxis and private vehicles, with the city center located a short distance away.
