Over the last few months, international travel has come to a screeching halt amidst the COVID-19 pandemic; as we venture further into the year, some airline companies have pledged to resume service. Notably, many of Belize’s neighbours like Mexico, Jamaica, and the Bahamas reopen their borders as early as June. While Southwest Airlines have confirmed all flights to Belize will remain suspended until January 2021, other airlines await a reopen date for the Philip Goldson International Airport. Until then, airlines like WestJet, Air Canada, United, and Sun Country continue to have Belize on their seasonal flight schedule. Seasonal flights typically range between fall and spring. Much like Belize, these destinations are eager to welcome travelers, with the economy heavily dependent on tourism.

Editor’s Note: Announced in a virtual press conference on August 28, Prime Minister Hon. Dean Barrow confirms that Belize will reopen its international airport for tourism as of October 1, 2020.
