Transportes Aéreos Guatemaltecos (TAG) is a private passenger and cargo airline with its headquarters in Zone 13 of Guatemala City,[1] and with its main hub at La Aurora International Airport. It was founded in 1969 in Guatemala City. In 1972 the airline added a Douglas DC-3 to its fleet, competing with the state-owned Aviateca.

Today TAG has around 70 employees and operates an own maintenance facility at La Aurora International Airport. The hangars are located opposite to the main terminal building, on the east side of the airport. Besides regular flights between the capital and Mundo Maya International Airport of Flores, the airline offers charters, ambulance flights and agricultural flights, both domestic and international, e.g. to Copán, Honduras.

TAG is the first airline in Guatemala to be certified by the ICAO . With the refurbishment of several airports within the country (San José Airport, Quetzaltenango Airport, Puerto Barrios Airport), TAG is expected to offer scheduled flights between these airports in the near future, being Guatemalas largest airline at the moment (2009).
