Belize / Guatemala

Issue should be resolved this week. Caused an uproar within the tourism community in the Peten (Tikal) region.
There is rumor of association between an unnamed dgac officer and a private intity in Guate to force Belizean operators out so they can have a 100% monopoly on a fairly lucrative route.
Tropic Air by the way has been operating reliably, accident and incident free into the Peten region for 27+ yrs. Also, MayaIsland Air has done the same for the past 5 yrs.
