Small airstrip serving Belize's Mennonite heartland community.

Location
Spanish Lookout, Belize
Matthew Spain Airport, operating under IATA code SQS and ICAO code MZCF, is a small general aviation airstrip located in Spanish Lookout, Cayo District, Belize. Spanish Lookout is a productive Mennonite farming community known for agriculture, dairy production, and light industry, and the airport primarily serves private and charter flights connecting the community to the rest of Belize. The airport is a modest facility with limited infrastructure, catering mainly to light aircraft and small charter operators rather than scheduled commercial airline service. It plays an important logistical role for the Spanish Lookout community given the relative isolation of the settlement and the challenges of road travel in rural Belize. Due to its small size and regional nature, detailed historical records and operational statistics for Matthew Spain Airport are not widely published, and much of its activity involves private general aviation, agricultural support, and occasional charter services.
