Description
Toledo was about to lose its only scheduled air link. Last month, Tropic Air announced it would end scheduled flights to Punta Gorda on November 1. The announcement came after more than two decades of service. Tropic Air explained that the route was losing money. Prime Minister John Briceño says Tropic Air’s decision came without prior notice to the government, but confirmed that Maya Island Air has now stepped in to maintain the vital connection. He also revealed that the government has agreed to provide duty-free diesel as part of the arrangement.
