Gateway to Abaco's pristine islands and turquoise waters.

Location

Marsh Harbour, Bahamas

Leonard M. Thompson International Airport serves Marsh Harbour, the largest settlement in the Abaco Islands and a major hub for tourism in the northern Bahamas. The airport provides essential air links connecting the Abaco Islands to Nassau, Florida, and other destinations, supporting both the local community and the archipelago's significant boating and fishing tourism industry. The airport was severely damaged by Hurricane Dorian in September 2019, one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes on record, which devastated Marsh Harbour and the surrounding area. Reconstruction and recovery efforts allowed the airport to resume operations, though rebuilding the broader Abaco community has been a long-term endeavor. Named after Leonard M. Thompson, a prominent Bahamian civic figure, the airport plays a critical role in the economic recovery and connectivity of the Abaco Islands. It handles a mix of scheduled commercial flights and general aviation traffic, reflecting the region's appeal to private boaters and tourists.

Visitors are advised to grab a full meal in town before heading to more remote cays where dining choices can be limited.

Traveller Tips

Arrange your water taxi or ferry connection in advance, as schedules to the outer cays may not align with flight arrivals.
US dollars are widely accepted throughout the Abacos alongside Bahamian dollars, which are exchanged at par.
Confirm your rental car booking before travel, as fleet sizes on the island are small and availability can be tight in peak season.
Customs and immigration can move slowly on busy days — allow extra time if you have an onward boat connection.
