Treasure Cay Airport (IATA: TCB, ICAO:MYAT) is located in the the city of Treasure Cay, Bahamas. It is the primary international airport serving Treasure Cay and its surrounding metropolitan area.
Airport Overview
Treasure Cay Airport(TCB), identified by ICAO code MYAT, serves Treasure Cay on Great Abaco Island in The Bahamas. Its location within the Abaco Islands gives it a regional access role for island residents, resort activity, local businesses and time-sensitive supplies rather than the profile of a large international cargo hub. For air freight planning, our platform treats this airport as a destination requiring advance operational confirmation, particularly for cargo acceptance, aircraft uplift, customs coordination and final-mile collection. Shipments are commonly evaluated against gateway availability in Nassau or another confirmed international connection point before the final island sector is arranged. The airport coordinates are 26.7453003, -77.3912964, and the stated local time zone is UTC-05:00. Our service team can check the complete routing, handling responsibility and consignee delivery arrangement before booking.

Key Highlights
- Regional island airport serving Treasure Cay and the wider Abaco operating area.
- Best suited to pre-arranged small consignments, urgent supplies and planned local distribution rather than regular freighter consolidation.
- International cargo may require a confirmed gateway transfer and a separate island-sector uplift.
Forwarder Decision Points
- Obtain carrier and ground-handler acceptance before issuing a firm departure promise.
- Build in time for inter-island transfer, weather disruption and limited local handling windows.
- Confirm consignee transport, customs representation and collection capability in advance.
Cargo Facilities & Services
Treasure Cay Airport should be operationally treated as a regional passenger-oriented airport unless a carrier or appointed handler confirms a specific cargo arrangement. Our platform does not assume the availability of a dedicated cargo terminal, bonded warehouse, cold room, dangerous-goods store or automated sortation facility. Service availability, acceptance hours and equipment must be verified for each shipment.
- Shipment acceptance: Confirm whether the selected operator accepts cargo on the proposed flight and whether advance booking or local representation is required.
- Handling equipment: Verify pallet, dolly, forklift, weighing and oversized-cargo capability before tendering freight.
- Temperature-sensitive cargo: Use qualified packaging and request written confirmation of any cool-room or protected holding arrangement; do not rely on ambient airport storage.
- Dangerous goods: Obtain carrier approval before dispatch. Acceptance may be restricted by aircraft type, route, packaging or local handling capability.
- Customs and release: Establish who will submit import documents, pay assessed charges and collect the freight, as airport-side handling and customs brokerage are separate responsibilities.
Routes & Transit Times
There is no fixed transit promise for cargo to this regional island airport. Our service team normally evaluates an international gateway, customs transfer point and final island sector as one connected movement. Actual routing depends on the operating carrier, aircraft payload, seasonal schedule, weather and local acceptance conditions.
- International origin: Freight may need to move first to a confirmed Bahamas gateway, followed by a separately confirmed connection to Treasure Cay.
- Regional movement: Passenger aircraft belly capacity or ad hoc regional uplift may be relevant, but available space and cargo acceptance must be checked shipment by shipment.
- Connection risk: Missed transfers, limited daily uplift, weather and payload restrictions can extend the total door-to-door cycle.
- Planning method: Our quotations distinguish airport-to-airport movement from customs clearance, local delivery and any inter-island transfer time.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
The primary service area is Treasure Cay and nearby communities on Great Abaco, with local delivery arrangements determining the practical reach of the airport. Cargo profiles are typically linked to island consumption, property and resort operations, marine activity, construction maintenance and urgent replenishment. These are planning categories, not a guarantee of acceptance or available uplift.
Operations & Compliance
Shipping Tips
- Send dimensions, gross weight, piece count, commodity description, value and ready date to our service team before requesting a firm rate.
- Use robust, moisture-resistant packaging suitable for multiple transfers, and mark each piece clearly with consignee, handling instructions and total piece count.
- For perishables or medicines, provide the required temperature range and contingency instructions; use validated packaging rather than assuming airport refrigeration.
- For urgent or high-value cargo, ask our team to compare a direct island-sector plan with delivery through a confirmed Bahamas gateway and onward local transport.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Treasure Cay Airport receive international cargo directly?
International availability depends on the operating carrier, aircraft, customs process and local handling arrangement. Our platform verifies the complete routing rather than assuming that an international shipment can be tendered directly at the airport.
Can I send dangerous goods or lithium batteries?
Possibly, but only after carrier and handler approval. The package, UN classification, declaration, battery configuration and aircraft sector must be reviewed before acceptance.
Is refrigerated storage available for pharmaceuticals or seafood?
It must be confirmed for the specific movement. Our team recommends qualified thermal packaging and a documented handover plan when no protected storage arrangement has been contractually confirmed.
What causes delays on this route?
Common planning risks include limited uplift, payload restrictions, weather, missed inter-island connections, customs documentation and lack of pre-arranged local collection.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide origin, destination, commodity, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, value, ready date, special handling requirements and the consignee's customs and delivery contacts.
