Independence Airport guide

Independence Airport, also known as Savannah Airport or Mango Creek Airport, is a small airfield on the Independence Highway in southern Belize. It serves Independence and Mango Creek, a coastal community that straddles the border between the Stann Creek and Toledo Districts. The ICAO code is MZSV.

The airfield has one asphalt runway, 07/25, that is 970 metres (3,182 feet) long. It sits at 5.5 metres above sea level, about 4 kilometres inland from the coast.

The ferry crossing at Mango Creek, where water taxis leave for Placencia, is a short distance from the runway. Passengers can connect to the Placencia peninsula by boat rather than by the long road around the lagoon. Maya Island Air has listed the airport on its domestic network, and Tropic Air has listed it on a route to San Pedro. The airport has no published passenger statistics.
