About Sartaneja Airport
Sartaneja Airport is a small regional airstrip serving Sartaneja, a coastal fishing village in the Corozal District of northern Belize. Located near Chetumal Bay, it provides essential domestic air access to a relatively isolated community and is a convenient entry point for travelers visiting the nearby Shipstern Nature Reserve.
The airstrip has a single runway and a basic terminal shelter with a small check-in counter and shaded seating. It is mainly used by Belizean carriers such as Tropic Air and Maya Island Air, which operate short flights with small Cessna aircraft on routes connecting Sartaneja with Belize City, Corozal and other northern destinations.
Located just east of the village, the airport is about 45 km from Corozal Town by road. Ground transportation is limited, so most visitors arrange a lodge pickup or use a pre-booked transfer, while the village centre is within walking distance. Passengers should plan for simple facilities and strict baggage limits on small aircraft.
