Minimal-infrastructure domestic strip whose sole function is the Tropic Air and Maya Island Air scheduled Cessna Caravan hop that feeds the Placencia water-taxi connection for the Placencia peninsula and southern Belize (Toledo District) traffic; annual passenger counts are not publicly published by Belize DCA, and no international, customs, or fuel services are available on site.

Ground handling Available

Maya Island Air

Maya Island Air lists Savannah (Independence/Mango Creek, INB) as a scheduled domestic station connecting to Placencia and other Belize coastal points; no third-party ground handler or FBO is listed for this minimal-infrastructure strip (confirmed empty on FlightAware's MZSV services listing), so the operating carrier self-handles its own flights.
