Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport | BELIZE CITY | BZE / MZBZ

***Tillor87*** · March 28th, 2009, 12:12 AM

ENGLISH
The Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (PGIA) is the premier international airport of Belize. Located only 10 miles from Belize City, the airport serves as the main gateway to this beautiful, developing nation. The airport facilitates both international and domestic air services. It is served by several international airlines with originating services from the USA, Central America and the Caribbean. Locally, passengers can arrive at their final destination by way of local airlines, taxi cabs, buses and water taxis.

The airport was originally constructed in 1943, when a 5,000 feet asphalt runway, a taxiway and small apron were constructed. In 1944, a terminal building was constructed and inaugurated on January 15, 1945. Today, the PGIA boasts a 7,100 feet runway and 615,800 sq. ft. of parking apron. There is a full Crash Fire and Rescue Department and the airport is designated as a Category 8 in accordance with ICAO Annex 14. Expansion of the runway and apron to accomodate widebody, longer haul aircraft is in progress.

The management and operation of the Airport was privatized in April, 2004. Belize Airport Concession Company, a consortium of Belizean investors assumed the management and operations of the airport on April 1, 2004. As a part of the concession agreement, the Concession Company is undertaking the expansion of the Airport.

ESPAÑOL
El Aeropuerto Internacional Philip SW Goldson (códigos IATA: BZE, la OACI: MZBZ) es el aeropuerto que sirve a la Ciudad de Belice, la más grande del país homónimo. Fue nombrado en honor del político ya fallecido Phillip Stanley Wilberforce Goldson. El aeropuerto está en fase de expansión, como la prolongación de la pista, la ampliación de la plataforma y la ampliación de la terminal. Esas ampliaciones se hacen principalmente para poder operar con más aviones y albergar vuelos procedentes de Europa. Está planificado que las obras terminen en 2015.

Philip SW Goldson está a 5 metros sobre el nivel del mar, lo que significa que tanto el aeropuerto y la totalidad de la ciudad de Belice se encuentran en riesgo de graves inundaciones debido a su baja altitud y cercanía a la costa. Por esta razón, la capital de Belice se ha trasladado a Belmopán, pero el aeropuerto Philip SW Goldson sigue siendo el más grande y con mayor actividad del país.

Desde el aeropuerto, ubicado en en Ladyville, se tarda unos 30 minutos en coche para llegar al centro de la Ciudad de Belice. La mejor forma de llegar desde y hacia el centro de la ciudad es a través de taxi. Aunque existe un servicio de autobús del aeropuerto, éste tiene escasa frecuencia y es poco fiable.

Que buen thread, ya era hora. No conocía este aeropuerto. Buen inicio Tillor87. Saludos.

DarkLite · March 28th, 2009, 02:36 AM

Nikkodemo, porque te sorprende que British no opera en Belice?

***Tillor87*** · March 28th, 2009, 03:08 AM

No creo que hayan muchos turistas británicos viajando a Belice.

Nikkodemo · March 28th, 2009, 05:20 PM

Claro, no habrán vuelos directos Londres - Belize, pero por lo menos vuelos directos a otras islas como Cayman, Jamaica, entre otras patrocinadas por British. Y es una aerolínea que tiene vuelos casi a todo el mundo.
