FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Belize Airports Authority Confirms Security Enhancements at Municipal Airstrips.

Belize City, Belize – 17th April 2025

The Belize Airports Authority (BAA) acknowledges the recent incident at the Ranchito Municipal Airstrip and commends the swift and professional response of the relevant law enforcement and emergency agencies. The BAA extends its sincere gratitude to all authorities involved for their prompt action and commitment to public safety.

While investigations are ongoing, the BAA would like to reassure the traveling public and stakeholders that safety and security remain top priorities at the BAA’s municipal airstrips across Belize.

The BAA also wishes to inform the public that comprehensive plans to implement enhanced security protocols such as passenger bag checks and the installation of scanning equipment have been in effect since January 2025. These initiatives are not a direct response to the recent event, but rather part of a proactive and long-term strategy to elevate safety standards across the aerodromes.

In close collaboration with the Department of Civil Aviation and the operating airlines, the BAA is actively working to roll out these measures in phases, with implementation expected to begin in the next few weeks. These efforts are designed to align Belize’s municipal airstrips with international best practices and ensure a secure travel environment for all.

The BAA remains committed to improving the travel experience while maintaining the highest standards of safety and security. We thank the public for its continued trust and support.

End.
