Remote gateway to the Bahamas' southernmost inhabited island.
Location
Matthew Town, Bahamas
Inagua Airport (IGA/MYIG) serves Matthew Town, the only settlement on Great Inagua, the third-largest island in the Bahamas. The airport provides essential air access to this remote community, which is home to roughly 1,000 residents and a significant Morton Salt operation.
The island is also renowned for the Inagua National Park, which hosts one of the world's largest flamingo colonies, attracting wildlife enthusiasts and birders. The airport serves as the primary link connecting Inagua to Nassau and other Bahamian islands, supporting both residents and visitors.

Terminals
The airport features a single small terminal building with minimal passenger amenities, consistent with remote Out Island Bahamian facilities.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited, with taxis and private vehicles being the primary means of reaching Matthew Town from the airport.
