About West End Airport
West End Airport (WTD) is a small private airport at the western tip of Grand Bahama, Bahamas. It serves West End and the Old Bahama Bay resort area, functioning primarily as a point of entry for pre-approved private and charter flights rather than a large commercial hub.
Located about 1 km from the West End settlement and roughly 45 km by road from Freeport, the island's main city, the airport offers a convenient western gateway for private pilots and charter guests heading to marinas, resorts and fishing areas. It sits about 56 miles from Palm Beach, Florida.
Facilities are limited and operations run during daylight VFR hours, typically from 8 am to 5 pm, with on-site customs and immigration but no fuel or extensive ground support. Passengers usually arrange onward transfers through their resort or operator in advance.
With a single paved runway and a compact terminal building, West End Airport provides a quieter alternative for private aviation, while scheduled commercial traffic on Grand Bahama is handled by Grand Bahama International Airport (FPO) in Freeport.
