AIP referenceMYER — AIP Bahamas / BCAA
Operating hoursNo control tower; unattended field with VFR daylight operations only (no approach lighting for night ops yet). FBO (Odyssey Aviation) provides standard coverage sunrise-to-sunset, customer service roughly 0700-1900 local, 7 days/week; after-hours ops possible with advance notice. Customs/immigration are on-site but must be reconfirmed for arrivals outside core hours (overtime charges apply before 0900/after 1700 local, matching the official 1400-2200Z attendance window). Older published AIP attendance was 1400-2200Z Mon-Fri — treat current FBO-sourced hours as more reliable.

Despite its 'International' name, Rock Sound is a domestic-network out-island strip (Bahamasair/Flamingo Air links to Nassau, Governor's Harbour, George Town, San Salvador) that also functions as a designated customs/immigration Airport of Entry for private aircraft arriving from abroad — it is not a scheduled international gateway. It anchors tourism access to South Eleuthera resorts (Cape Eleuthera, Cotton Bay). No fuel is available on-field (confirmed via the FBO's own listing), so pilots must plan fuel stops elsewhere. A BSD 14.5M ($14,525,896) government contract signed as part of the 2025-2026 capital budget covers full runway reconstruction to ICAO standards, new lighting for night operations, and apron/drainage upgrades, reflecting the field's current minimal, aging infrastructure.
