TAG Airlines (Transportes Aéreos Guatemaltecos)
TAG Airlines is the sole carrier serving Puerto Barrios Airport (PBR/MGPB), operating the only scheduled route (to Guatemala City, roughly 6x/week). TAG's own offices page lists a station at Puerto Barrios (7a Avenida y 8a Calle, frente a Pollo Campero) using this phone number, confirming a local presence, but no third-party FBO or ground handler is listed for this airport in industry directories (Business Air News' handbook lists none for PBR), consistent with TAG self-handling its own flights at this station.
