But while the government has been able to secure a new international flight, the future of the municipal flight to Punta Gorda is looking grim. While Tropic Air is a private company, the residents of Toledo have been asking for the government to intervene to keep air connectivity.
Today, the PM confirmed that Maya Island Air is looking into a southern route.
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"What happened is that Tropic Air made a commercial decision. They've been losing money. You can't force a company to run, a private company to be able to continue to run that. They've been losing money. Maya have expressed interest, so presently they are meeting with the CEO and also probably people at BAA. And I hope that by this week or early next week, the CEO can be able to tell me what are the terms and see if it is something that we can work with."
