Currently, all international flights land at the Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Ladyville, a suburb of Belize City. Sometimes abbreviated as PGIA, the airport is generally referred to as the international airport in Belize City.

Belize City is the former capital and still largest city in the country. Located on the Caribbean coast in central Belize, Belize City is a major transportation hub with onward connections to every destination in the country.

Both the Philip Goldson Airport and the Sir Barry Bowen Municipal Airport (generally referred to as the Belize City Municipal Airport) have domestic air connections to the rest of Belize. Two domestic air carriers, Maya Island Air and Tropic Air, serve more than a dozen destinations in the country with multiple flights per day.
