Carrier chief executive, Steve Schulte, said at the 2010 ALTA leadership forum, that the carrier has already started the process to gain authority to launch service to Honduras. They are examining options as well, for acquiring larger, twin engine turboprops for the new service to Honduras.

The timing of the recession actually helped Tropic Air, Schulte said, as most tourists to Belize plan their vacations a significant amount ahead of time. He also stated that a large number of condo owners with properties in Belize continued to travel during the recession.

Schulte reveals that Tropic Air intends to apply for ALTA (Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association) formerly AITAL (Latin American International Air Transport Association) membership after the conference.
