About Big Creek Airport
Big Creek Airport (BGK) is a small public airfield serving Big Creek, a deep-water port community in southern Belize. The airport supports domestic air links for residents, port workers and travelers moving between the southern Stann Creek and Toledo districts and other parts of the country.
The airfield has a single asphalt runway and one compact passenger terminal. Scheduled domestic services connect Big Creek with Belize City, Dangriga and Punta Gorda, making it a useful link for reaching the port and the nearby communities of Independence and Mango Creek.
Located near the coast, the airport sits just north of the Port of Big Creek docks and is only a short drive from Independence. Road transport, taxis and pre-arranged transfers provide onward access, while Placencia and its beaches lie across the lagoon and can be reached by a longer road route or water taxi.
Facilities at the airport are basic, reflecting its role as a regional airfield rather than an international gateway. Travelers using BGK should plan onward transport in advance and confirm flight schedules, as services are limited and primarily operated by small domestic aircraft.
