Accidents and incidents
4 December 2014: a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan overran the runway upon landing at the Belize City Municipal Airport and came to rest in the waters of the Caribbean Sea. Nobody was hurt.
17 November 2017: a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan on a domestic flight to Punta Gorda Airport in Belize with seven people on board, including the Acting Prime Minister of Belize Patrick Faber and Agriculture Minister Godwin Hulse, ditched in the sea just after it lifted off the runway at Placencia Airport, after one of its main landing gear wheels hit a vehicle. Several occupants of the aircraft and a passenger in the vehicle were injured, but there were no fatalities. The runway at Placencia Airport is very close to a road that has boom gates to stop vehicles while aircraft are landing or taking off; one of the gates reportedly failed to deploy.
