Location: Guatemala
Event: All U.S. government-coordinated charter flights from Guatemala City to the United States are now fully booked and the U.S. Embassy is in the process of contacting confirmed passengers for Wednesday’s flights. We are aware there are U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents who still wish to depart Guatemala and were unable to be accommodated on the charter flights. The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala is continuing to explore options to assist these individuals. We are working with various airlines and the Guatemalan government in an attempt to facilitate access to continued commercial flights after Wednesday, March 25th.
The U.S. Embassy urges all interested travelers to continue to provide your information at the following link: https://bit.ly/3adnsD1 (even if you have already submitted your information via email). By providing your information you support the process of the U.S. Embassy informing commercial carriers of the continued passenger demand for transportation from Guatemala to the United States.
The U.S. Embassy will send another message later today concerning any confirmed commercial airline options to assist U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents who wish to depart Guatemala for the United States. Please continue monitoring U.S. Embassy online accounts (Website, Twitter, Facebook) for updated information.
