The small airport (IATA: SPR; ICAO: MZSP) serves San Pedro city and Ambergris Caye, Belize. The traffic is dominated by the two regional carriers. Maya Island Air and Tropic Air. Both serving the capital city of Belize as well as some smaller airfields in the country.

I would’ve never thought a guide would be made for San Pedro! The last time I went in April I went spotting at the airport for the first time and it was awesome! Another spot is the bar right next to the runway! I also found a dirt path right on the southern part of the runway that you can get some cool shots with, I think the street was called “Stingray Street”.
Its a nice small airport, that’s why we have added it 🙂
Would be nice if you can send us the additional spots via our form:
