Sir Barry Bowen Municipal Airport (formerly Belize City Municipal Airport) (IATA: TZA, ICAO: MZBE) is an airport serving Belize City, Belize. It is only one mile from the city center, and is more centrally located to the city than is Belize City International Airport. It mostly provides travel to Belize's cayes, allowing faster passage to the cayes than by boat or water taxi. The airport is named after the late Belizean politician and entrepreneur Barry Bowen.
The head office of Maya Island Air is on the airport.[3] Tropic Air also has a terminal at this airport with multiple flights every day.
