Airport Overview

Los Tablones Airport (LOX) is listed in the supplied airport record at Los Tablones, Guatemala, in the Zacapa area. The record identifies it as a non-main airport and provides no ICAO code, scheduled-airline count, or export-service count. For international freight planning, our service team therefore treats Los Tablones Airport as a local or limited-access aviation point rather than assuming it is a scheduled cargo gateway. Any freighter acceptance, customs handling, cargo security process, operating window, aircraft suitability, and ground access must be confirmed before a shipment is booked.

Item	Recorded value	Forwarding implication
IATA code	LOX	Use only with the confirmed airport name and routing.
ICAO code	Not assigned in the supplied record	Do not substitute another airport's ICAO identifier.
Coordinates	14.9676218, -89.5356094	Useful for validating road distance and delivery feasibility.
Time zone	UTC−06:00	Local cut-offs must be reconfirmed with the handling party.

Key Highlights

Los Tablones Airport is not identified in the supplied record as a main airport or an established export cargo hub.
The absence of an ICAO code in the supplied data requires extra care when preparing booking, trucking, and aviation-security instructions.
There is no basis to assume on-site cargo terminals, bonded storage, cold rooms, dangerous-goods facilities, or customs clearance.
International shipments will generally require confirmation of an onward gateway, airport-to-airport transfer, or an all-road alternative.
Our service team can assess whether the airport is operationally usable for a specific aircraft, commodity, and delivery plan before accepting the booking.

Cargo Facilities & Services

Specific cargo infrastructure is not established by the supplied record. Our team will not represent any facility as available until the local operator, appointed handling party, or relevant authority confirms it in writing.

Acceptance and handlingConfirm whether general cargo can be physically accepted, weighed, screened, documented, and transferred to an aircraft at the requested date.

Customs and bonded controlDo not assume an on-airport customs office, bonded warehouse, or export clearance desk. Pre-clearance or processing at another Guatemalan gateway may be required.

Temperature-sensitive cargoValidate cool-room access, power availability, handover time, and contingency arrangements before offering a temperature-controlled solution.

Dangerous goodsAcceptance depends on an approved operator, trained personnel, packaging compliance, and aircraft-specific restrictions. Obtain written confirmation before tender.

Security and screeningConfirm the applicable cargo-screening method and chain of custody; loose or unverified handover arrangements can cause refusal or delay.

Ground servicesCheck vehicle access, loading equipment, road conditions, delivery appointment requirements, and whether cargo must be trucked to a connecting gateway.

Routes & Logistics Transit Planning

No scheduled international cargo route, airline, frequency, or guaranteed transit time should be inferred for Los Tablones Airport from the supplied data.
Where local acceptance is unavailable, our service team will normally compare an origin pickup to a confirmed Guatemalan international gateway, followed by the required air connection and final delivery.
Routing depends on aircraft performance, runway and handling approval, cargo screening, customs location, road transfers, airline allotment, and the final destination's import requirements.
For urgent shipments, the practical comparison is often between a confirmed gateway-airfreight plan and a time-definite road solution, subject to border and customs feasibility.
Any quoted schedule remains subject to carrier confirmation, operational acceptance, weather, security controls, and local handling capacity.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Los Tablones and the wider Zacapa-area market should be assessed primarily as an inland pickup and delivery zone unless a verified local aviation service is available. The commercial value of the airport therefore depends less on an assumed cargo terminal and more on reliable road access to a confirmed export gateway.

Potentially suitable planning categories include general commercial cargo, spare parts, industrial supplies, samples, and time-sensitive documents, subject to acceptance confirmation.
Perishables, pharmaceuticals, live animals, high-value electronics, and dangerous goods require a separate feasibility review because storage, screening, security, and temperature controls cannot be presumed.
For consolidated freight, our team will evaluate whether direct trucking to a larger gateway provides better control than attempting a local-airport handover.
Final delivery planning should include collection address, cargo dimensions, gross weight, packaging condition, consignee availability, and any special unloading equipment.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off control: Obtain the actual acceptance, screening, documentation, and vehicle-arrival deadlines from the confirmed handling party; do not apply the cut-off of another Guatemalan airport.
Documents: Prepare a commercial invoice, packing list, shipper and consignee details, accurate HS classification, origin information, transport instructions, and any permits required for the commodity.
Special cargo: Dangerous goods, lithium batteries, dry ice, pharmaceuticals, perishables, and live animals require advance commodity declarations and written acceptance before dispatch.
Customs and inspection: Build contingency time for document review, physical inspection, re-packing, security screening, and transfer to another customs-controlled location. Our team will confirm the responsible customs process before pickup.

Shipping Tips

Send the complete shipment profile to our service team before booking: commodity, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, value, origin, destination, ready date, and any battery, liquid, temperature, or animal-related details.
Request a written confirmation of the actual airport, handling point, customs location, aircraft acceptance, screening arrangement, and final delivery method.
Use robust, stackable packaging with visible handling marks and a packing list inside and outside the shipment; avoid tendering cargo that cannot be safely weighed or inspected.
Keep a gateway alternative available. If local acceptance, customs processing, or road access is not confirmed, our team can compare an airport-to-airport plan through a validated Guatemalan gateway or an all-road solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Los Tablones Airport receive international export cargo?: Not automatically. The supplied record does not establish scheduled cargo acceptance, customs capability, or an international handling service. Our team must obtain current confirmation before offering this airport as the cargo handover point.
Does Los Tablones Airport have a cargo terminal or bonded warehouse?: These facilities should not be assumed. We will verify the handling location and customs arrangement; otherwise, cargo may need to move by road to a confirmed gateway or regulated warehouse.
Can dangerous goods or lithium batteries be shipped through Los Tablones Airport?: Only after commodity screening, compliant packing, documentation review, and written acceptance by the actual carrier and handling party. Battery type, state of charge, quantity, and packing method are material to the decision.
What is the transit time from Los Tablones Airport?: No fixed transit time should be quoted from the supplied data. Transit depends on local acceptance, road transfer, customs processing, gateway capacity, airline routing, and destination clearance.
What should an exporter provide for a quotation?: Provide the cargo description, HS code if available, pieces, dimensions, weight, value, pickup and delivery addresses, ready date, consignee details, and any special-handling requirements. Our team will then validate the routing.

Data Sources & Provenance

Airport identity, IATA code, locality, coordinates, time zone, and the absence of an ICAO code in this module are based on the supplied airport record. Operational conclusions are deliberately limited to planning guidance and require current confirmation before shipment acceptance.

For regulatory and industry cross-checking, our service team may consult the official Guatemalan civil aviation authority at dgac.gob.gt, Guatemala's tax and customs authority at portal.sat.gob.gt, and IATA reference information at iata.org. These domains are reference points only; current airport acceptance, customs arrangements, facilities, and routing must be verified for each shipment.
