| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport | BZE | 58 km (36 mi) | 9,678 ft | 15 ft |
| Dangriga Airport (regional) | DGA | 64 km (40 mi) | — | 10 ft |
| Sir Barry Bowen Municipal Airport (regional) | TZA | 67 km (42 mi) | — | 8 ft |
| Placencia Airport (regional) | PLJ | 90 km (56 mi) | 2,133 ft | 3 ft |

| Caye Caulker Airport (regional) | CUK | 94 km (58 mi) | — | 2 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,678 ft, BZE handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 15 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
