About Inagua Airport
Inagua Airport, also known as Matthew Town Airport, serves Matthew Town and the island of Great Inagua in the southern Bahamas. Located just a few kilometres from the town centre, it is a compact joint civil-military airport and the island's main air link.
The airport connects Great Inagua with Nassau and other points in the Bahamas through regional carriers such as Bahamasair and Western Air, while also handling private and general aviation traffic. A single small terminal manages check-in, security, arrivals and baggage collection, with an asphalt runway suited to regional aircraft and private jets.
Situated roughly 3 km from Matthew Town, the airport is typically reached by taxi or pre-arranged transport, with only a short drive into town. Travelers can continue to local guesthouses, the Morton Salt operations and Inagua National Park, one of the world's most important flamingo breeding areas.
Facilities are basic rather than resort-style: the terminal provides essential passenger services and a limited snack offering, so visitors are advised to carry cash and confirm transport and flight details in advance. Despite its modest size, it functions as the island's essential gateway.
