The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) oversees the aviation industry in Guatemala, and in order for international airlines to conduct flights to and through Guatemalan airspace, they must get block permissions, or “premises de operation” as they are known locally.
Guatemala, the biggest aviation market in Central America, has certain protocols for foreign operators looking to enter the market.
A Guatemala Block Permit is a blanket authorization that provides airlines with:
✔ Multiple flight approvals under one permit
✔ Flexible scheduling within defined parameters
✔ Route network options covering major Guatemala destinations
✔ Extended validity (typically 6-12 months)
✔ Mandatory for all commercial international flights
✔ Based on bilateral air service agreements
✔ Average processing time: 15-30 business days
✔ Valid for specific routes and seasons
✔ Separate requirements for passenger and cargo operations
