Leonard M. Thompson International Airport serves Marsh Harbour, the largest settlement in the Abaco Islands and a major hub for tourism in the northern Bahamas. The airport provides essential air links connecting the Abaco Islands to Nassau, Florida, and other destinations, supporting both the local community and the archipelago's significant boating and fishing tourism industry.
