Airport Overview

Chub Cay International Airport (CCZ; ICAO: MYBC) is a private international airport serving Chub Cay in the Berry Islands of The Bahamas. The airport is located at approximately 25.4171009, -77.8808975 and operates on Eastern Time, UTC−05:00. It is situated on Frazers Hog Cay, close to Chub Cay and Diamond Cay, and is identified in the supplied airport record as a Bahamas Port of Entry with Customs and Immigration facilities.

For international freight, the airport is best assessed as a small, private island gateway rather than a scheduled cargo hub. Our service team can coordinate time-critical shipments, customs pre-arrival preparation and onward connections, but cargo acceptance, aircraft availability, handling capacity and operating windows must be confirmed for each movement. Island geography and limited local logistics resources make advance planning more important than relying on ad hoc airport delivery.

Key Highlights

Island gatewayFreight planning must account for limited local trucking, warehouse and equipment options compared with a mainland cargo airport.

Port-of-entry functionCustoms and Immigration coordination is central to international shipments; pre-arrival documents should be prepared before uplift.

Private-airport operating modelHandling acceptance, ramp access, aircraft type and operating hours should be obtained from the airport or appointed handler for the specific shipment.

Connection-dependent routingMany consignments may require a confirmed regional air connection or an air-sea alternative through a larger Bahamas gateway.

Cargo Facilities & Services

Our service team treats Chub Cay International Airport as a pre-arranged handling location. The following capabilities should be confirmed before booking rather than assumed from the airport’s international designation:

Acceptance and ramp handling: Confirm whether the nominated aircraft, shipment dimensions and weight can be handled, and whether cargo must arrive fully prepared for direct aircraft loading.
Customs and Immigration: The airport is identified as a Bahamas Port of Entry. Customs availability, inspection arrangements and release procedures should be coordinated in advance with the responsible authorities or local representative.
Storage: Do not assume bonded, secure, temperature-controlled or long-dwell storage. Our team will seek written confirmation of available storage duration, access conditions and handling equipment.
Special cargo: Dangerous goods, live animals, perishables, pharmaceuticals and oversized pieces require advance acceptance by the operating carrier and ground handler.
Local delivery: Island-side delivery may depend on vehicle availability, road access, consignee presence and marine connections. A named local contact is strongly recommended.

Routes & Transit Times

Regional air routing: Shipments may require a connection through a larger Bahamas or nearby Caribbean gateway before reaching Chub Cay International Airport. The actual routing depends on aircraft availability, cargo characteristics and seasonal schedules.
Charter and ad hoc uplift: For urgent, high-value or project cargo, a charter or dedicated aircraft solution may be considered, subject to aircraft performance, runway suitability, permits, weather and commercial approval.
Air-sea alternative: If direct air uplift is unavailable or unsuitable, our team can compare an air service to a major gateway followed by a confirmed marine or local island connection.
Time-control factors: Customs availability, weather, inter-island transfer coordination, aircraft positioning and the absence of confirmed cargo schedules can materially affect the transit plan. No fixed transit time should be promised before booking confirmation.

We quote a shipment-specific routing only after checking the operating carrier, handling agent, connection point, cargo dimensions, customs status and final delivery method.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary service area: Chub Cay and nearby Berry Islands locations, with final delivery generally requiring local island coordination rather than conventional mainland trucking.
Resort and marine supply: Hotel, marina, vessel-maintenance and island-development supplies may include spare parts, tools, electrical materials, plumbing items and packaged provisions.
Urgent replenishment: Small high-value replacement parts, aircraft or boat components, communications equipment and maintenance consumables may be suitable for pre-arranged air transport.
Perishables and provisions: Chilled food, seafood, fresh produce and other time-sensitive goods require confirmed temperature-control arrangements and rapid consignee collection.
Project cargo: Oversized or heavy freight should normally be evaluated against charter, sea freight or consolidated gateway options before an airport delivery plan is selected.

Operations & Compliance

Booking cut-off: A public cargo cut-off should not be presumed. Our team will obtain the carrier or handler’s acceptance deadline, document deadline and aircraft-specific delivery instructions for each shipment.
Customs documents: Prepare a commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill instructions, shipper and consignee contact details, import purpose and any required permits before cargo movement. Product descriptions and values must be consistent across all documents.
Dangerous goods: Batteries, aerosols, chemicals, fuel-related articles and other regulated materials require correct classification, packing, marking, labelling and a shipper’s declaration where applicable. Acceptance must be obtained before dispatch.
Temperature-sensitive or live cargo: Confirm packaging, data-loggers, animal or sanitary permits, handover timing and contingency storage. Do not tender such cargo without a documented handling plan.
Inspection and collection: Customs examination, limited local storage and consignee absence can delay release. The consignee or an authorised local agent should be ready to collect promptly after clearance.

Shipping Tips

Send our service team the commodity, dimensions, gross weight, packing details, value, Incoterms, desired delivery date and final island address before requesting a quotation.
Request written confirmation of the aircraft, connection point, handling agent, acceptance window, customs process, storage conditions and final-mile responsibility.
Use robust, moisture-resistant packaging with clear piece numbering and handling marks. For irregular or oversized cargo, provide drawings and centre-of-gravity information where relevant.
Keep a gateway alternative available. If direct handling cannot be confirmed, compare a regional gateway plus island transfer, charter uplift or marine service before cargo is dispatched.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Chub Cay International Airport receive international cargo?

It is identified in the supplied airport record as a Bahamas Port of Entry with Customs and Immigration. Cargo acceptance is still shipment-specific and must be confirmed with the operating carrier, airport representative and customs contact.

Is there a scheduled cargo service to Chub Cay International Airport?

A scheduled cargo service should not be assumed. Our team checks current airline, charter and regional connection options and will propose an alternative gateway when a direct uplift is unavailable.

Can temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals or perishables be shipped there?

Possibly, but only after confirming active cooling, secure storage, handling priority, customs timing and consignee collection. Where those controls cannot be verified, a different gateway or validated insulated packaging plan may be safer.

What documents are needed for import clearance?

Normally, accurate commercial and transport documents are required, including an invoice, packing list, air waybill data and consignee information. Commodity-specific permits, certificates or licences may also apply and should be checked before uplift.

What is the best option for oversized island cargo?

Provide dimensions, weight, packing type and delivery location first. Our team will compare aircraft limitations, charter handling, a larger regional gateway, marine transport and local delivery equipment before recommending a route.
