The Belize Airports Authority takes pride in announcing the completed upgrade and reopening of the Caye Caulker Municipal Airport. Caye Caulker, a jewel in Belize's crown, welcomes visitors from around the world. Its marine wonders, vibrant culture, and the iconic ‘Go Slow’ mantra make it a magnet for global travelers. In our unwavering commitment to safely bridge Belize's jewels with the global community, significant works were carried out at the Caye Caulker Municipal Airport. Rehabilitation started with the excavation of a large portion of the runway, facilitating the integration of a cement-treated base—comprising native soils, aggregates, cement, and water. Once compacted and cured, this foundation offers resilience, aligning with international aviation standards. Topographical surveys were conducted and elevation markers were strategically installed, complemented by meticulous compaction tests, ensuring the optimal conditions for aircraft operations. The subsequent phase involved the rigorous application of Hot Mix on the runway, executed diligently by our dedicated team, working tirelessly around the clock, even into the night. Additional works included the resurfacing of the apron and parts of the runway due to minor ponding. Concluding this transformative endeavor, the runway and apron received distinct and vibrant markings, embodying our attention to detail, and providing a well-marked out path for safe landings and take-offs. These works not only ensure safer flights for our travelers but also guarantee the secure and efficient transportation of goods, strengthening Caye Caulker's role as a transportation hub and a top global destination. For the Caye Caulker community, this isn’t just an upgraded airport – it's a doorway to safe travels, remarkable adventures, and a booming tourism industry, inviting the world to experience the beauty of Caye Caulker. The Belize Airports Authority remains steadfast in its dedication to improving and sustaining high aviation infrastructure standards throughout Belize. See you in Caye Caulker!
