TAG Airlines launches direct flights between Guatemala and El Salvador in July

TAG Airlines is set to enhance travel options between Guatemala and El Salvador with the introduction of a new direct flight route. Beginning July 13, the airline will operate four weekly flights connecting Guatemala City's La Aurora International Airport with San Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez International Airport in El Salvador. The flight duration is approximately 50 minutes.

This new service will significantly boost connectivity, bringing the total number of direct weekly flights between the two Central American nations to 25. TAG Airlines' addition complements the existing daily flights offered by Avianca. The airline is launching the route with promotional round-trip fares starting at US$199, though regular prices are expected to range between US$220 and US$350, varying by season, availability, and booking time.

The schedule for the new TAG Airlines route includes departures from Guatemala on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with two flights on Friday. Return flights from El Salvador are also scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with late evening options available on Fridays. These new flights are designed to offer travelers greater flexibility in choosing their departure and arrival times.

By increasing flight frequency and options, TAG Airlines and Avianca aim to strengthen regional air travel. The expanded service is expected to facilitate easier movement between Guatemala and El Salvador, supporting tourism and business ties within the region. The Agencia para la Promoción Turística de Centroamérica (CATA) announced the new route, emphasizing its role in improving connectivity.
