Discover Airlines, a leisure subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group, has announced a new seasonal direct air service connecting Frankfurt, Germany, to Belize City. Scheduled to begin on December 16, 2027, and run through mid-April 2028, the service will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays.

Belize’s Minister of Tourism, Youth, Sports and Diaspora Relations, Anthony Mahler, noted the route is of strategic importance for diversifying source markets and expanding international connectivity. The service is expected to receive approximately $2 million in government subsidies to help reduce Belize’s tourism dependence on the United States. While initially described as a direct service, reports indicate the flights may include a stop in Central America, potentially in Cancún.
