Airport contact
The principal air gateway to the Abaco Islands (onward ferries serve Hope Town, Elbow Cay and Green Turtle Cay), and reportedly the busiest of the Bahamian Out Islands airports at roughly 100,000 passengers/year — no precise official annual figure is published (pre-Dorian arrivals alone exceeded 100,000/year), so this should be treated as an approximate, unofficial estimate. Runway and terminal were flooded by Hurricane Dorian on 1 September 2019 (~US$9.8M in direct damage); the field reopened within about three months and resumed full scheduled service by early 2020. Post-Dorian rebuilding has held up through subsequent storms (e.g., brief precautionary closure for Tropical Storm Imelda in late September 2025), and new-entrant carrier Aztec Airways added a nonstop Fort Lauderdale route in June 2025 alongside existing FLL service as tourism traffic continues recovering.
