Distance & flight time from AXP
Spring Point Airport
Spring Point Airport serves the settlement of Spring Point on Acklins, one of the less-visited islands in the southern Bahamas. Elevation here is just 11 feet, typical of the low-lying coral islands that make up this part of the archipelago, and a single runway handles the light aircraft traffic connecting Acklins to Nassau and neighboring islands. Colonel Hill Airport, also on Acklins, lies about 40 kilometers away, while Mayaguana and Deadman's Cay airports sit roughly 99 and 141 kilometers out on separate islands. AXP functions mainly as a small charter and inter-island link rather than a stop for scheduled international carriers, matching the sparse population spread across the southern Bahamian out islands.
