FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Belize to Welcome New Air Service from Europe with Discover Airlines


BELIZE CITY, Belize – October 20, 2026 – The Belize Tourism Board (BTB) is pleased to announce new air service from Europe with Discover Airlines, connecting Frankfurt, Germany, to Belize City beginning December 16, 2027. The seasonal service establishes a new gateway for travelers from Germany and connecting European markets.


Flights will operate twice weekly, on Thursdays and Sundays, through mid-April 2028. The schedule aligns with Belize’s dry season, giving European travelers an ideal opportunity to visit during the winter travel months.


“The introduction of this new service is of strategic importance to Belize’s tourism industry as we continue to diversify our source markets and expand international air connectivity. Strengthening our presence in Europe is a key priority, and this new connection from Frankfurt opens opportunities to attract more visitors from Germany and across the region, while making it easier for travelers to experience the best of Belize, from our world-renowned Barrier Reef and pristine islands to our lush rainforests, ancient Maya sites, and rich cultural heritage,” said Hon. Anthony Mahler, Minister of Tourism, Youth, Sports and Diaspora Relations.


Discover Airlines is the Lufthansa Group’s leisure airline in Germany, flying travelers from Frankfurt and Munich to the most beautiful holiday destinations in the world. A cutting-edge product tailored to the needs of leisure travelers and the crew’s welcoming service, make flying with Discover Airlines a real pleasure. Since the summer of 2021, Discover Airlines has complemented the Lufthansa Group’s offering in the growing segment of leisure travel. Guests benefit from an end-to-end booking process and seamless transfers at the Frankfurt and Munich hubs as well as at many global destinations of the Lufthansa Group and its partner airlines.



The Belize Tourism Board is excited about the introduction of this new service and looks forward to working closely with Discover Airlines and tourism industry partners to strengthen Belize’s presence in the European market, enhance connectivity, and drive increased visitation from the region.
