Belize’s Maya Island Air is credited with operating the largest number of flights by a single airline in the Latin American and Caribbean (LATAM) region.

Next month, there are 191,891 scheduled inter-regional flights in the Latin American & Caribbean region with Maya Island Air having the largest number of flights by a single airline in the region, according to data provided by aviation data analytic company, Cirium. The 79 airlines operating these 191,891 flights will have 26.2 million seats available but the single airline with the largest number of flights is the tiny yet relatively unknown Maya Island Air.

Maya Island Air is a small regional carrier with a fleet of 13 aircraft, according to its website. It has eight Cessna 208 Caravans, one Cessna 182 Skylane, three Britten Norman Islanders, and one Gippsland Airvan.

The carrier operates over 100 daily flights to 11 domestic destinations, as well as regional charters to Guatemala and Honduras. While LATAM Airlines Group and Azul Linhas Aereas has the largest number of flights within the Latin American and Caribbean region, the airline doesn’t operate the largest number of flights in a single route.

Instead that distinction falls to Maya Island Air, as Cirium’s database shows that Maya Island Air has 739 scheduled flights between Belize City and Placencia. Maya Island Air also has the second-busiest route by a single operator, connecting Belize City and San Pedro with over 647 scheduled flights next month.

Looking through Cirium’s list, Avianca appears in third place with the most flights on a single route. The Colombian carrier will have 593 services between Bogotá and Medellín next month, offering over 100,000 seats.

In terms of seats, that’s actually the route (by a single operator) with the most capacity, followed by Avianca’s Bogotá-Cali and Volaris’ Mexico-Cancún. Coming back to the first list, Windward Island Airways, better known as Winair, has 580 scheduled flights between St. Marten and St. Barthélemy.

LATAM’s busiest route is Rio de Janeiro-Sao Paulo, with 440 scheduled flights; Aeromexico’s is Mexico City-Monterrey with 437 scheduled flights, and Volaris’ is Mexico City-Cancun with 405.
