Future plans to expand the taxiway repave and move all the cargo facilities to San José Airport in Escuintla and Puerto Barrios Airport in Izabal. The first phase consists in repaving the runway as well modernizing the illumination system. Still, the renovation of the runway is in progress. There have been efforts in the past to expand the runway but this has not yet been possible since there's a commercial area to the north of the runway and a small ravine near the southern side of the runway. The central concourse, is used for larger aircraft as it provides 4–6 gates depending on the size of the aircraft. The northern concourse has 12 traditional gates and three remote gates. 2007 brought significant gate expansion (11 new gates were available starting December 2007). These gates are equipped with jetway bridges and modern conveniences, also a new parking garage was also built and it can handle up to 500 vehicles. In July 2007, seven new gates were opened. La Aurora is being renovated, along with other airports in Guatemala, such as Mundo Maya International Airport, Quetzaltenango Airport, Puerto Barrios Airport, and San José Airport. La Aurora International Airport is the fourth-busiest airport in Central America in terms of passenger traffic, surpassed only by Tocumen International Airport in Panamá, Juan Santamaría International Airport in Costa Rica, and Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport in El Salvador. The airport currently has two terminals: Central and North.
The greater project was completed by December 2008. It was partly demolished and was expanded with a new glass-designed concourse and is now able to accommodate up to twenty-two aircraft. The old terminal has been renovated in accordance with its original design. It provides high standard installations to the traveler. The airport is now able to accept a greater number of flights and larger aircraft.
The airport went through a massive modernization and expansion. La Aurora International Airport is the primary airport of Guatemala. It is administered by the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics. It is located 6.4 km (4.0 mi) south of Guatemala City's center and 25 km (16 mi) from Antigua Guatemala. La Aurora International Airport ( Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional La Aurora, IATA: GUA, ICAO: MGGT) serves Guatemala City, Guatemala.
