✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Inagua Airport (IGA/MYIG) is the small gateway airport for Great Inagua, the southernmost island in The Bahamas, located just north of Matthew Town. It mainly handles inter-island flights—most commonly Bahamasair services from Nassau—along with charter and private aircraft. The airport's compact terminal and runway sit close to the island's salt works and the flamingo-rich Inagua National Park, giving arrivals an immediate sense of Great Inagua's remote, low-key character.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors bring cash and insect repellent: ATMs in Matthew Town are unreliable, and the salt ponds and national park can be buggy after rain.
🚖 Getting There
Matthew Town is a short 5-minute drive from the terminal, so taxis or pre-arranged hotel transfers are the simplest way to reach town. There is no regular public bus service, and rental cars are scarce, so confirm your pickup and any car rental before arrival. If you're heading to the salt works or Inagua National Park, arrange transport with a local guide or your hotel in advance.
