Placencia Airport (IATA: PLJ, ICAO: MZPL) is an airport that serves Placencia, Belize. It has a paved strip and crosses the peninsula from East to West.[3]
As of December 2012, the runway is paved in good condition. Due to the typical sea breeze, takeoffs and landings are typically done east-bound. Private flights are allowed. Parking should be coordinated with Tropic Air or Maya Island Air. The airport has no security.
On 17 November 2017 - A Cessna 208B Grand Caravan of Tropic Air struck a vehicle shortly after take-off for Punta Gorda Airport and subsequently ditched in the sea. All seven people on board, including the Acting Prime Minister of Belize Patrick Faber and Agriculture Minister Godwin Hulse, survived.[4]
