## Description

Salt leaves Great Inagua by ship, never by plane. Morton Salt harvests roughly a million tonnes a year here from one of the world's largest solar evaporation operations, while Inagua Airport (IATA: IGA, ICAO: MYIG) at Matthew Town handles passenger and supply traffic only. Its single asphalt runway 09/27 measures 2,138 metres and can take aircraft up to Boeing 737 size. As of early 2026 Bahamasair is the sole carrier, with about ten arrivals a month from Nassau and Mayaguana operated by ATR 42/72 and Boeing 737 equipment. There is no freight terminal, no bonded warehouse and no cold chain, so air cargo is limited to belly consignments supplying the island and the saltworks. Time-critical shipments for the southern Bahamas are consolidated at Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau (NAS), where Bahamas Customs handles clearance, while sea freight moves through the company port at Matthew Town. One further distinction: Inagua National Park holds the world's largest breeding colony of West Indian flamingos.
