The BAA was established under the BAA Act Chapter 238 of the Laws of Belize to manage and administer prescribed airports, and provide all essential services and facilities necessary for the efficient operations of said airports.
The institution is governed by a Board of Directors and responsibility for day to day organizational-level operations has been delegated to a General Manager with an administrative and technical support. This strategic level institutional tool provides direction and focus to the BAA and a clear roadmap with measurable performance metrics, against which to develop Annual Work Plans & Budget for day-to-day operations and compliance with legal mandates. In order to be able to monitor and evaluate institutional performance, annual activities must be designed to meet the objectives and outputs as defined in the 2014-2017 Strategic Plan. Any deviation from the strategic plan must be vetted by the Board and therefore should not be a decision of the BAA’s management team alone. Strictly speaking, activities that do not contribute in a visible and measurable manner to the objectives of the strategic plan should not qualify to receive any BAA funding.
