Leonard M. Thompson International Airport

Leonard M. Thompson International handles the bulk of private jet traffic into Great Abaco Island. Customs and immigration clear on arrival, making it the standard port of entry for the Abacos. The airport was heavily damaged by Hurricane Dorian in September 2019 and has since been rebuilt with an improved terminal.

The ramp accommodates jets up to large-cabin size. Traffic is moderate by Bahamian standards, though it peaks sharply during regatta season and holiday weekends. Five operators currently service the field, and the mix of charter and owner-flown traffic keeps the FBO environment straightforward. Fuel is available on the field. Slot requirements are not a factor at MYAM.

Many passengers arriving here continue to the outer cays by ferry or boat. Marsh Harbour is the staging point for Hope Town (Elbow Cay), Man-O-War Cay, and Green Turtle Cay. If your final destination is one of those cays, coordinate water taxi or ferry pickup before arrival.

The airport sits roughly 1.5 miles from central Marsh Harbour. Taxis meet most arriving flights, and several local rental car agencies operate from or near the airport. Drive time to the town docks is under 10 minutes.

For the outer cays, water taxis depart from Marsh Harbour's ferry docks. Hope Town is about 30 minutes by ferry, Green Turtle Cay around 45 minutes with a connecting road segment to the Treasure Cay ferry dock, which is closer to MYAT than MYAM.
