Guadalajara
The 737MAX is Aeromexico. Cathay Pacific flies there. One of the planes in the background looks like Volaris. GDL has jetways with transparent windows. Airport layout works, the planes in the background taxi/line up on runway 28. Mountains are around the terrain.

Definitely Central America based on the Aeromexico 737. The Cathay cargo 747 is a bit of a red flag. Google tells me that it could be Guadalajara as they do seem to service that destination within the region.

Guessing on my phone without checking google maps or images, is it LAS? West hangar and general look implies US and LAS seems like the kind of place you might fly on a prop, like a Grand Canyon tour (or that thing where you have sex on a plane)

OK, this seems to be a bit more of a headache.... so here are some hints:
- AF flies there seasonally only
- KL flies there all year round
- The prop planes you see on the picture are based at that airport/in that country, their country immatriculation consists of two letters (i.e. no "F-", but "XX-")
- The picture was not taken from aboard a scheduled commercial plane, they do not taxi in front of that hangar. But the hangar is visible from where commercial scheduled planes taxi.
- If you find the airport on Google Earth you'll see a Condor plane and an AN-124 parked there

Not so easy...
The reason I am unsure is that the charts aren't clear whether planes using stands 13-18 might actually need to be parked the other way around, i.e. rolling from taxiway J into their positions and then being pushed back. If that was the case we would see their tails and not their noses.
EDIT: not Rhodes after all. My doubt was "right", that's not how they park in Rhodes. I'll keep on searching.
- Airport with no or few jetbridges - thus likely Greek island
- Euro full service network, LCC and holiday airlines go there - confirms Greek island
- LH, AF, SK, TVF fly there - several Greek islands have that
- planes in the picture are not parked with their nose directly in front of the apron border, i.e. they can leave their stand by taxiing out forward as otherwise the AF jet in the picture would not fit where it is. Few of the Greek island airports have such a layout, therefore I try...
