Normans Cay Airport
NMC is the IATA code for Normans Cay Airport, a small airstrip serving Normans Cay in the Exuma district of the Bahamas. The cay is famous for its history as a smuggling hub for the Medellin drug cartel in the 1970s and 1980s, and remnants of that era, including a partially sunken plane in the shallows offshore, still draw divers and curious boaters. Today Normans Cay is a quiet, sparsely populated island valued for its beaches and snorkeling rather than air traffic. The airstrip itself is basic, unpaved in places, and used mainly by private charter flights bringing visitors to nearby resorts, rental villas, and the boating community that anchors in the surrounding cays.
