No Takeoffs from Municipal Airstrip as Runway Needs Repairs

If you are planning to travel from the Belize City municipal airstrip this weekend, you will likely have to make new plans. There is word tonight that the airstrip will be closed for urgent repairs to the runway.  The relevant authorities met today to consider the concerns of the operators and took the decision to close the airstrip temporarily. It is all very interesting because millions of dollars from Social Security money was spent to upgrade the airstrip not too long ago. Imer Hernandez, was the contractor, his company has received numerous contracts for works across the country including one to upgrade the Caye Caulker Municipal airstrip.
