Mundo Maya International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional Mundo Maya, IATA: FRS, ICAO: MGMM), formerly Flores International Airport as indicated by its IATA code, is an international airport located in the suburb of Santa Elena, in the city of Flores, Guatemala. It serves national and international air traffic for the areas of Flores, Santa Elena, and San Benito, as well as all the Maya sites of Tikal or Yaxhá and destinations such as Guatemala City and Belize.
The airport lacks many amenities compared to other airports its size. It only has 1 small cafe landside, and a large sitting area and shop airside. Despite its size and lack of jetbridges, lounges, and restaurant it is still Guatemala's second busiest airport.
Mundo Maya Airport, like other airports in Guatemala, is going through some expansions, to provide a better service to passengers and airlines, so it will be able to accept a greater number of flights and larger aircraft. In 2012, the ICAO airport identifier for Mundo Maya International Airport changed from MGTK to MGMM.[3]
