Belize City, Belize, August 05, 2025 – As Belize continues to experience strong momentum in tourism growth, the Belize Tourism Board (BTB) is pleased to announce the addition of a new nonstop flight from Spirit Airlines, further strengthening the country’s international airlift. Beginning November 21, 2025, Spirit will operate direct service between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) in Florida and the Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Belize City.
This new route marks Spirit’s official debut into the Belize market and introduces a convenient and affordable option for travelers eager to explore the country’s unmatched tourism offerings. Spirit Airlines, known for its value-driven fares and extensive route network, will operate flights three times a week—Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, using its Airbus A320 aircraft.
“We are excited to welcome Spirit Airlines’ new nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale to Belize,” said Hon. Anthony Mahler, Minister of Tourism, Youth, Sports, and Diaspora Relations. “This new route enhances our connectivity and offers more convenient travel options for both visitors and our diaspora. From our breath-taking natural beauty to our rich cultural experiences, there’s so much waiting to be discovered in Belize. Strengthening this link with Fort Lauderdale not only boosts travel to our shores but also deepens tourism ties between our destinations and paves the way for shared economic opportunities.”
“With its world-class water excursions and beautiful landscapes, Belize is an incredible addition to our international service and growing Fort Lauderdale route map,” said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines.”We’re looking forward to offering our Belize Guests an elevated travel experience on their journey to the United States and giving our Fort Lauderdale Guests even more destinations to explore as we double down on our FLL service.”
