## Description

Three names dominate the cargo apron at Lynden Pindling International Airport: FedEx, UPS and DHL, the integrators that move express parcels, e-commerce and pharmaceuticals through Nassau. As the principal gateway of The Bahamas on New Providence island, the airport (IATA: NAS, ICAO: MYNN) carries the bulk of the archipelago's international traffic, roughly four million passengers a year driven by North American and European tourism. Cargo is modest in tonnage but essential: the Bahamas Customs Department runs a dedicated air-freight unit on site and clears imports electronically through its Click2Clear platform. Because the country is an island chain with no railways, goods landed at Nassau move onward to the Family Islands by domestic flights and mailboat sea freight rather than by truck across borders. A short road link ties the airport to the capital and to Prince George Wharf, the main port. NAS also offers a feature rare in the Caribbean: a United States preclearance facility, letting passengers and shipments complete US customs and immigration formalities before departure. For freight forwarders, Nassau is therefore best understood as a supply and express reference point for a tourism-led island economy rather than a trans-shipment centre.
