The Government of Belize is proposing to open a new domestic airport on northern Ambergris Caye by 2030, which would scrap the existing John Greif II Airport. The current San Pedro Municipal Airport cannot be expanded to accommodate larger planes. The IDB Group has been consulted and is working on a proposal and studies for a new station. No final decision has been made regarding the plan.
