Airport contact
Stella Maris Airport exists primarily to serve the Stella Maris Resort Club & Marina and Long Island's dive/tourism trade; despite its small, non-towered, single-runway footprint it carries Bahamas 'airport of entry' status with on-site Customs & Immigration (contact reported separately at +1-242-338-2012), avgas and Jet A fuel, and scheduled Bahamasair (recently expanded, Jan 2026) and Southern Air Charter service to Nassau, though it has no published passenger-traffic statistics.
