Airlines & Charters
The vast majority of commercial air traffic to and from Abaco (including American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Western Air and Bahamasair) utilizes the Leonard Thompson International Airport (MHH) in Marsh Harbour.
About 45 minutes to the north, is the Treasure Cay Airport (TCB). Currently, this airport is only available for use by smaller planes. A number of the charter airlines, including some that offer regularly scheduled flights, utilize TCB, as do many private pilots. TCB is a five-minute taxi ride from the Green Turtle Cay Ferry dock, and a 15-minute ride to Treasure Cay.
Bahamian customs and immigration clearance is available at both airports, and you can normally find taxis waiting once you exit the MHH customs hall, or the TCB airfield.
