Hector Silva Airstrip

Hector Silva Airstrip is a small domestic airport serving Belmopan, the capital city of Belize. It operates under the IATA code BCV and ICAO code MZBP, facilitating short-haul domestic flights within the country. The airstrip is named in honor of Hector Silva and primarily connects Belmopan with other domestic destinations in Belize, including Belize City. Given Belmopan's status as the national capital, the airport plays a role in government and administrative travel as well as general aviation. The facility is modest in size, reflecting the relatively small population of Belmopan and the nature of domestic air travel in Belize, which relies heavily on small propeller aircraft and short runways.
