✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Arthur's Town Airport (ATC/MYCA) is a small public airport serving Arthur's Town on the northern end of Cat Island, Bahamas. It handles scheduled and charter flights—most commonly from Nassau—and has a single runway with a compact, open-air-style terminal. The field is best known for serving the settlement where actor Sidney Poitier spent his childhood.
💡 Local Tip
Inter-island flights are often weight-sensitive, so pack light and expect checked bags to be weighed; excess baggage fees or bumping can happen on small aircraft.
🚖 Getting There
The airport sits just outside Arthur's Town, so most local guesthouses are a short taxi ride away. Taxis usually meet scheduled flights, but arranging a transfer or rental car in advance is safer, especially for late arrivals. If you're continuing to New Bight or southern Cat Island, allow about 45–60 minutes by car.
