“We’re having the newest fleet in Belize. Within the next few months, you’ll be able to see all brand new airplanes flying across.”

“In terms of infrastructure, what can people look forward to?”

“Well, if you’re ever flying to the Dangriga area, you’ll see that we have one of the biggest facility going up there. Before, we had of course the little small Maya/Island Air office, then we had our competitors office, and now you see almost like Buckingham Palace over there, as a very nice state of the art facility that’s going onboard. And we’re doing that not only in Dangriga, but in Placencia, Punta Gorda and twice the size in San Pedro, and very last we’ll have one here at municipal. These facilities are going up simultaneously as we speak. We’re looking within a three month period, before we’re finished with all the building facilities here in Belize.”

As part of the airline’s fortieth anniversary celebration, the fortieth person to buy a ticket during this month will fly free. There are also monthly raffles with every ticket purchase.
