## Description

Morton Salt's solar saltworks dominate Great Inagua, harvesting roughly a million tonnes a year from one of the largest evaporation-pond operations on earth. Yet that salt leaves by ship, not by plane: Inagua Airport (IGA) at Matthew Town handles essentially passenger and supply traffic for the island's workforce and visitors. With no dedicated freight terminal or customs cargo bond, cargo_capable is honestly false. Urgent air freight for the southern Bahamas is consolidated through Lynden Pindling International in Nassau (NAS). The island's other claim to fame is the Inagua National Park, home to the world's largest breeding colony of West Indian flamingos.
