The Caye Caulker Airstrip is one step closer to its grand re-opening!!! Aerial view...



Beautiful airstrip, and well deserved. Glad its about to be completed.

Contractor?

Hope it lasts longer than the one year at Municipal before shutting it down for repairs!

Looks long enough to land a small jet!!

The island is a mile wide at that spot. The runway goes about 3/4 of that, so 3/4 of a mile of paved asphalt.

Maya first to touch down on Caye Caulker

Today Maya shuttled BAA Executives and Contractors and it's executive team whom visited the site to inspect the runway and facilities and meet with residents.

It was a successful inspection. Congratulations to the Ministry of Tourism and Department of Civil Aviation, The Belize Airports Authority, The Caye Caulker Village Council and the residents of Caye Caulker.

Maya looks forward to returning service to Caye Caulker when the aerodrome reopens in September.

Captain Solomon Williams is the first pilot to make touch down on the renovated aerodrome in Caye Caulker .
Thumbs up to you Captain!

Does anyone have an update about the roads that went across the airstrip to the south end of the island? How do those
living there get to town now?

As you come on to the airport property, turn left and head towards the Eastern shore of the island. Right at the coastline, turn right and that is the road south, down the Eastern shore. It goes all the way through South Point and to the foot bridge to Eden Isle.
