✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Walker's Cay Airport (WKR/MYAW) is a small airstrip on Walker's Cay, the northernmost island in the Abaco chain of the Bahamas. The runway primarily serves private and charter aircraft visiting the island's resort, dive, and fishing operations. After major hurricane damage in 2004, service has been limited and access often requires prior permission.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors confirm runway conditions, PPR, and customs before departure, and bring everything they need—fuel, cash, and supplies—since Walker's Cay has very limited services and weather can quickly change sea and air access.
🚖 Getting There
There is no public transportation on Walker's Cay; most visitors arrive by private boat, charter flight, or arranged ferry from nearby Abaco cays. Ground transport is by golf cart or on foot, and the airstrip is a short distance from the island's main facilities. Coordinate pickup with your hotel or charter operator in advance, as cell coverage and services can be limited.
