Caye Caulker Airport (IATA: CUK) is an airport that serves Caye Caulker, an island 20 kilometres (12 mi) off the coast of Belize.
The runway spans the width of the island. Approach and departure are over the water.
The Belize VOR-DME (Ident: BZE) is located 36.8 nautical miles (68 km) northeast of the runway.[3]
After Maya Island Air and Tropic Air suspended service to Caye Caulker in 2017 due to the dangerous condition of the runway, the airport underwent a BZ$3.6 million renovation that included asphalt pavement and runway lighting.[4]
