Airport contact
Minimal-infrastructure municipal airstrip serving the resort island of Caye Caulker via short Cessna Caravan hops on Tropic Air and Maya Island Air's domestic network to Belize City and San Pedro/Ambergris Caye; no customs, immigration, or confirmed on-field fuel — international connections route through Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE). Runway was completely rebuilt in hot-mix asphalt (from a deteriorated surface) with new lighting in a 2018 BZ$3.6M renovation after both carriers suspended service in 2017 over unsafe conditions, and underwent further rehabilitation work with a roughly six-week closure in 2023. Annual passenger counts are not publicly published for this field.
