Tropic Air resumed nonstop service between El Salvador International Airport Saint Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez (formally Comalapa International Airport) in San Salvador (SAL) and the Philip Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Belize City. Flights are scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.Flight time will be approximately one hour on Tropic’s twin engine Beechcraft 1900D, a modern, 19 seat airliner designed primarily for regional routes such as this. It is popular around the world for its speed and passenger comfort.

“We are very proud of our international service growth, connecting Belize to multiple regional destinations over the last 10-plus years. San Salvador is considered a second home to many in Belize, with many historical and economic ties, so our expansion into this market is a natural one. We are very excited to have added the destination to our Tropic family”, said John E Greif III, President of Tropic Air.

“We see San Salvador as a major destination with a lot of potential. Regional air connectivity is a priority for Tropic. We believe this route will grow quickly into a daily service. It provides business interests and families fast, convenient air service. It opens another gateway for South American tourists to reach Belize. Routes such as this are essential to Belize’s growth,” added Steven Schulte, CEO of Tropic.

The addition of San Salvador to the airline’s route map means a broadening of reach into Belize’s important business and leisure markets. Not only is San Salvador the economic epicentre of Northern Central America, but it is also an important trading partner for Belize. San Salvador has joined Cancun, Roatan, and Flores (Peten) on the Airline’s international route map.
