The Retalhuleu–Quetzaltenango (Xela) corridor connects Retalhuleu Airport (RER) with Quetzaltenango Airport (AAZ). By road the journey runs to hours — often across mountainous or unpaved interior. An AeroRide private charter covers it in 19 min, gate to gate, on the schedule you choose rather than a fixed timetable.
The whole aircraft is $720 — that price already includes the round-trip positioning of the aircraft, FBO access at both ends, meet-and-greet coordination and all luggage handling. With 5 aboard that is about $144 each. No commercial queues, no check-in counters, no gate lines.
Retalhuleu Airport sits in Pacific Slopes — Retalhuleu, 15 min to city center / 20 min to IRTRA. The runway is 1740m of asphalt and the airport operates 6am-6pm.
Quetzaltenango Airport serves Highland Coffee. 10 min to city center / 40 min to Santa María Volcano. The runway is 1830m of asphalt, and the airport operates 6am-6pm.
On arrival, AeroRide passengers clear the FBO in minutes — no baggage carousel, no commercial crowd. Ground transfers are arranged in advance through the same WhatsApp line.
About 19 min, direct. The private charter flies gate to gate with no connections — a fraction of the overland time.

Up to 5 passengers with luggage. For larger groups we coordinate a second aircraft — ask on WhatsApp.
