Airport contact
Staniel Cay is the principal air gateway to the Exuma Cays' swimming-pigs tourism circuit, served by Nassau commuter carriers (Flamingo Air, Titan Air) and by Makers Air's direct scheduled service from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. Although Staniel Cay appears on the Bahamas Customs list of official ports of entry, that post is inactive with no customs or immigration officers stationed, so international travelers must clear formalities at Nassau or another active port of entry before or after transiting here.
