Airport Overview

Inagua Airport (Matthew Town Airport) (IGA) · ICAO: MYIG

Inagua Airport (Matthew Town Airport) serves Matthew Town on Inagua Island in The Bahamas. Its remote island location makes it a local and regional access point rather than a conventional international cargo hub. For international freight forwarders, the airport is best assessed as a destination or feeder point requiring prior confirmation of aircraft suitability, cargo acceptance, customs arrangements, ground handling and onward delivery. Our service team can coordinate the main international movement through a suitable gateway and separately verify the final island connection, documentation sequence and consignee collection plan. The supplied airport record places the airport in the Inagua Islands at 20.9750004, -73.6669006, with a UTC−05:00 time zone.

Key Highlights

Remote island destinationGateway-dependent routing

Limited local cargo infrastructure to confirmPre-arranged handling recommended

Schedule and capacity sensitiveCustoms and delivery coordination required

No dedicated cargo operator shown in supplied record

International shipments will normally require a confirmed gateway connection before the final movement to Inagua.
Do not assume daily service, freighter availability, cargo acceptance or late cut-off capability; obtain written confirmation for each shipment.
Small-island supply chains can be affected by aircraft payload limits, weather, irregular operations and limited ground resources.
The supplied record lists air_num: 0 and exp_num: 0; our team treats these as database fields, not as proof of current airport operating conditions.

Cargo Facilities & Services

Publicly supplied data does not establish dedicated cargo-terminal, bonded-warehouse, cold-storage or dangerous-goods facilities at Inagua Airport (Matthew Town Airport). Facility and service availability must therefore be confirmed before booking.

Acceptance and handling: Confirm the responsible ground handler, cargo acceptance point, operating hours, equipment and document cut-off before tendering freight.
Storage: Do not plan on airport storage, bonded holding, segregation or overnight protection unless the local handler confirms it in writing.
Temperature-controlled cargo: Confirm whether active or passive temperature-control handling is available. If not, use validated packaging and minimize dwell time.
Dangerous goods: Obtain advance acceptance for any regulated article. Availability of trained personnel, secure storage and aircraft-specific approval must be verified.
Customs and release: Pre-arrange customs brokerage and consignee collection; avoid sending cargo without a clear release and delivery plan.

Routes & Transit Times

For international cargo, our service team will normally evaluate a routing through a suitable Bahamian or South Florida gateway, followed by a separately confirmed regional or domestic connection to Inagua.
Possible gateway and carrier combinations, flight frequency and available capacity vary by season, operating approval, aircraft type and commercial schedules; no fixed carrier or flight pattern should be assumed.
Transit time depends on gateway transfer, interline or rebooking arrangements, customs release, weather, payload restrictions and whether the shipment can move on the first available connection.
For urgent cargo, request a complete door-to-door plan rather than an airport-to-airport estimate. Our team will verify the final connection and consignee handover before confirming a service level.

Any routing, departure date, connection time or transit estimate must be confirmed against the actual booking date and operating carrier.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Service area: Matthew Town and the wider Inagua island community, with final-mile delivery arranged locally after airport release.
Typical logistics profile: island replenishment, public-service supplies, maintenance materials, retail goods, spare parts and personal consignments are more relevant than consolidated industrial export flows.
Time-sensitive goods: medical supplies, laboratory items and perishables require prior confirmation of temperature protection, handling priority and consignee availability.
Project and oversized freight: confirm aircraft loading dimensions, payload, packaging, lifting equipment and any road or vehicle restrictions before dispatch.
Return cargo: export or backhaul movements may require separate acceptance, customs documentation and pre-arranged uplift; do not rely on unsold capacity.

Operations & Compliance

Booking and cut-off: Obtain the actual cargo cut-off, tender location, acceptance hours and documentation deadline from the operating carrier or handler. Remote stations may require earlier tendering than the published departure time.
Documents: Prepare an accurate air waybill, commercial invoice, packing list, shipper and consignee details, cargo description, value, country of origin and any permits required for the commodity.
Regulated cargo: Dangerous goods, lithium batteries, dry ice, biological substances, pharmaceuticals, live animals and perishables require advance classification, packing, marking, labelling and carrier acceptance.
Customs and collection: Ensure the importer, broker and consignee are ready before uplift. Cargo may incur delay if clearance instructions, tax arrangements or local delivery resources are incomplete.

Shipping Tips

Send the commercial invoice, packing list, commodity description, dimensions, gross weight and planned shipping date to our service team before requesting a final quotation.
Book early and request confirmation of the complete routing, including the gateway transfer, final connection, handling party and consignee collection procedure.
Use robust, moisture-resistant packaging suitable for multiple transfers. Mark each package clearly with the consignee, destination and handling instructions.
For temperature-sensitive or urgent freight, use qualified packaging, data logging where appropriate and a contingency plan through an alternative gateway or deferred delivery schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Inagua Airport (Matthew Town Airport) receive international air cargo directly?

Direct international acceptance should not be assumed. Our team will check the operating carrier, customs process, aircraft capability, ground handling and the complete gateway connection for the requested shipment.

Is there a fixed cargo cut-off time?

A universal cut-off should not be quoted without a confirmed booking. The applicable deadline may depend on the operating carrier, local handler, connection point, cargo type and document-completion status.

Can pharmaceuticals, perishables or frozen goods be shipped to Matthew Town?

They may be possible subject to carrier and handler approval, packaging validation, customs readiness and confirmed temperature-control arrangements. Our team will verify whether the shipment can remain protected during each transfer.

Are dangerous goods accepted?

Acceptance is commodity- and aircraft-specific. A shipper’s declaration, compliant packaging and advance approval may be required, and local storage or handling capability must be confirmed before tender.

What should the consignee do before cargo departs?

The consignee should appoint a broker where required, prepare import documents, confirm any permits or taxes, remain reachable during the expected arrival window and arrange prompt collection after release.
