How can you tell whether a nation has become a more popular tourist destination over time? By studying the number of airlines servicing that country. A great way to test that theory is to take a look at Belize. Once upon a time, few airlines served this English-speaking Central American destination, but as time passed, that number increased exponentially. International carriers currently flying to Belize include:
• Air Canada
• Alaska Airlines
• American Airlines
• Avianca Airlines
• Copa Airlines
• Delta Airlines
• Frontier Airlines
• Southwest Airlines
• Spirit Airlines
• Sun Country Airlines
• United Airlines
• West Jet
Add domestic carriers Tropic Air (Belize’s local airline) and Maya Island Air to the list and as you can tell, this small nation has no shortage of ways to get to and from Philip Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Belize City. Given this impressive representation, both Belizean and European flyers were excited to learn that another carrier will join this impressive group. It’s called Discover Airlines, and you’ll want to know more!
Be on the lookout for Discover’s 2027 Belize launch
Discover Airlines will begin twice-weekly flights on Thursdays and Sundays that connect Frankfurt Germany to Belize City beginning December 16, 2027. Flights will continue throughout the dry season to mid-April 2028, giving European tourists the benefit of a warm, sunny, winter escape route to the Western Hemisphere throughout winter travel months. For Europeans eager to see what the world’s second longest barrier reef looks like—-and to experience cultural wonders like Belize’s 900+ Mayan ruins—-this is big news.
Further, Frankfurt is a well-known industrial hub thus the commercial impact of these two cities has enormous potential for reciprocal relationships. This is no small start-up, by the way. In 2021, parent company Lufthansa introduced the world to Discover, positioning it as a state-of-the-art carrier devoted to leisure travelers in search of a new kind of flying experience. It took no time for the brand to gain favor with European travelers. Now, that same level of service will be enjoyed as this link between Europe and Belize is established.
Where to stay if you book a Discover flight?
At Manta Island Resort, off Belize’s coastline. It won’t take much to convince European travelers to stay at this Caribbean property because Manta delivers endless experiences and perks. From an intriguing origin story about 18th century pirates occupying the atoll on which the resort is built to discovering that Manta is home to one of the nation’s most talked about all-inclusive packages, Manta is the perfect resort for families, singles, couples, and groups.
Guests are attracted to myriad accommodation choices, a diverse tour menu, posh spa, gourmet dining, and the deals and specials that save money, whether a favored currency is dollars or euros. It’s not too early to make reservations. The further in advance you book, the more choices you’ll have—and that goes for your airline reservations, too!
