Tropic Air has announced non-stop service to Cancun, Mexico, starting 12 November making it the only in-country airline offering scheduled flights between the two countries.
The press release says that the new service is a direct response to requests from its customers, and carries through on the airline’s stated commitment to the people of Belize. It will not only serve to make travel to Mexico easier, but hopes the new service will allow for the expansion of trade and tourism between the two countries and an alternate route for Europeans to Belize.
“When we inaugurated San Pedro Sula last year, we promised that we would keep growing internationally. This fulfills that promise, and there is even more to come. Cancun in an integral part of the growth strategy for Tropic Air and as such we feel it important that we link the vibrant tourism market of Cancun with Belize” said John Greif III, President of Tropic Air.
Tropic says the flight and fare schedule will be released shortly and it will be available for booking in the coming weeks. The flights to Cancun will add another option to travelers wishing to access Belize via Cancun. The ADO Bus Service to Cancun has become a popular alternative for travelers wishing to save money by flying to Cancun, then from there traveling to Belize by bus.
Tropic Air operates a fleet of 12 aircraft, including the latest generation, G1000 “glass cockpit”, air conditioned Cessna Caravans. With the addition of Cancun and San Ignacio, Tropic will fly to 15 destinations in Belize, Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. With over 250 employees, Tropic Air carried 250,000 passengers in 2011.
