Not "in the past". Right up to date. And Maya have recently stopped allowing freight to be paid for on collection - I know this because I receive freight from several people inside Belize - they all used to use Maya, and they've all switched to Tropic. That's in the last couple of months.

At Dangriga the Maya building is far more impressive than the Tropic wooden shack, and far more pleasant to wait in . Which is just as well, because the last time I was there wanting to return to San Pedro they decided not to run my plane. Purely a commercial decision, as the plane was sitting on the ground and there was nothing wrong with it. The next scheduled flight was 2 hours later, and fortunately they did send that one. However, that meant I now had no sensible connection in Belize City and the next available flight when it came was already full, so what should have been a 50 minute journey took almost 6 hours.

In terms of professionalism Tropic wins hands down.
