## Description

Flights to Caye Caulker Airport (CUK/MZCK) stopped completely in 2017, when Tropic Air and Maya Island Air judged the runway unsafe; a BZ$3.6 million rebuild with asphalt paving and lighting brought them back. The island sits about 20 kilometres off the Belizean coast and is served only by domestic services, roughly 49 weekly rotations by Tropic Air from Belize City and about 21 by Maya Island Air, plus links to San Pedro and Caye Chapel. Aircraft are Cessna Caravan-class turboprops, so the airport has no cargo terminal, no customs post and no scheduled freight handling. Goods for Caye Caulker travel as accompanied or courier baggage, or by water taxi and barge from Belize City. Air freight for the country is concentrated at Philip S. W. Goldson International (BZE) near Ladyville, some 30 kilometres to the south-west and under ten minutes' flying time, where import, export and customs clearance take place. San Pedro (SPR) on Ambergris Caye is the nearest alternative field.
