The single runway at Philip S. W. Goldson is 7,100 feet long, and is at an altitude of 15 feet. This means that both the airport and the entirety of Belize City are at risk of serious flooding due to its low altitude and coastal location.
For this reason, Belize's capital has been moved to Belmopan, but Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport remains the largest and busiest in the country.
Philip S. W. Goldson is about 30 minutes drive from Belize City's centre, in Ladyville. The best way to get to and from the city centre is via taxi. Although an airport bus service exists, it is very infrequent and unreliable.
Additionally there are five commercial banks, The Belize Bank Ltd., First Caribbean International Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia, The Alliance Bank, and Atlantic Bank Ltd. The commercial banks are regulated by the Central Bank in accordance with the provisions of a Banking Act.
