By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): The Belize Department of Civil Aviation (BDCA) has launched a six month study that will produce a roadmap for safe and sustainable growth in the country’s aviation sector.
The project will develop Belize’s first ever Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for inter airport system capacity and route efficiency. The work is being carried out by Tetra Tech, an international aviation and engineering consulting firm, along with The Aviation Group.
The study will look at how aircraft currently move through Belize’s airports and airspace, then recommend practical ways to handle more flights safely and with fewer delays. The aim is to get the most out of existing runways, routes and air traffic systems before Belize commits to major new infrastructure spending.
It covers the Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport and domestic airports with scheduled service, including San Pedro, Caye Caulker, Placencia, Dangriga, Corozal and the Sir Barry Bowen Municipal Airstrip in Belize City. The busy PGIA to San Pedro corridor will get special attention, and international routes to the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America are also included.
The BDCA says the plan will help prepare Belize for a possible doubling of air traffic by 2045, as projected by the International Air Transport Association.
The study will not affect flight schedules or airport operations.
