Inagua Airport
IGA serves Inagua Airport on Great Inagua, one of the southernmost islands of the Bahamas, near Matthew Town. The island is sparsely populated and best known for its massive Morton Salt production facility and for hosting one of the largest flamingo breeding colonies in the Western Hemisphere within the Inagua National Park. IGA provides essential air access for residents, salt-industry workers, and the occasional ecotourist visiting for birdwatching, since the island's remoteness makes sea and air transport the practical options for reaching Nassau or other Bahamian islands. The airport's facilities are basic, consistent with the low-traffic, essential-service nature of Family Island air links in the Bahamas.
