By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: During cabinet’s meeting on March 28, 2023, cabinet reviewed the new $264-million master plan for the Philip Goldson International Airport (PGIA).

The expansion plan was requested by the government and prepared by UK-based INFRATA Airport Consultants, for the Belize Airports Concession Company.

The Government of Belize informed that Phase 1 improvements have already commenced with the construction of a new airport access road.

Other works in this phase include the expansion of the terminal building, the construction of a larger aircraft apron, a new eastern taxiway and new parking facility, and new airport safety equipment.

To finance the new investments, Cabinet approved adjustments to the non-Belizean airport development fee and the funding period in accordance with existing provisions of the public/private sectors partnership agreement.

The new master plan is based on projected growth in passenger and aircraft movements at the PGIA through 2045.
