Flying to Belize & Getting Here

With daily flights arriving from major hubs across North America, getting to Belize was easier than ever pre-pandemic. While 12 airline carriers serve Belize via the Philip Goldson International Airport (BZE), Belize’s return to air travel as of October 1 will be gradual. Additionally, the Philip Goldson International Airport (BZE) is the only international airport in Belize, located in Ladyville just 15 minutes outside of Belize City. 

INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS TO BELIZE (BZE)

The Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport hosts direct flights from 19 cities in North America and Central America via nine (9) international carriers. With travel slowly and cautiously reopening in the wake of COVID-19, flying to Belize is a developing situation during the 3rd Phase of its Travel Reopening Plan.

Belize officially reopened its International Airport for commercial flights on October 1.

QUICK FACTS ON BELIZE'S INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

The Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (PGIA) is Belize’s only international airport, with a total of 7 departure gates with international and domestic terminals. The PGIA is roughly the size of a regional airport in the U.S.A. 

On arrival, travelers deplane via stairway directly onto the tarmac before being guided into the PGIA. Inside, travelers move quickly into immigration and customs before awaiting luggage at only two baggage carousels.

Note that you are NOT landing in Belize City, which means you will need ground transportation to enter Belize City. Domestic flights are also are available at the Belize International Airport for transfers to major tourism destinations. Domestic flights are also available at the Sir Barry Bowen Municipal Airport (TZA) in Belize City.
