Punta Gorda Airport (PND)

Punta Gorda Airport (PND) is a primary domestic aviation hub serving the Toledo District in southeastern Belize, located approximately 1.5 miles (2 km) from the town center. The airport operates from a single, compact one-story passenger terminal designed for high efficiency and a relaxed, informal atmosphere. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, connecting the southern rainforest region to major national hubs like Belize City (BZE) and Dangriga via daily scheduled services by Tropic Air and Maya Island Air.

The terminal infrastructure provides a range of essential amenities across its unified layout, featuring a functional waiting lounge and simple check-in counters. Travelers have access to a small on-site café and snack bar offering local Belizean refreshments and coffee, alongside a retail kiosk selling travel essentials and regional souvenirs. The facility is equipped with basic Wi-Fi and device charging stations, providing a comfortable and streamlined environment for both domestic commuters and international tourists exploring nearby Maya ruins.

Ground transportation to central Punta Gorda is exceptionally convenient, with official taxi stands located directly outside the arrivals hall providing a quick 5 to 10-minute link to the town's hotels and ferry docks. Many regional eco-lodges also provide pre-arranged shuttle transfers for their guests, while basic open-air parking is available directly in front of the terminal building. Travelers are advised to use the specific code PND when booking to avoid confusion with the larger Punta Gorda hub in Florida, ensuring a smooth transition to the natural attractions of southern Belize.
