San Salvador International Airport
San Salvador International Airport serves one of the most historically resonant of the Bahamian out islands, a small stretch of land many historians identify as Christopher Columbus's first landfall in the Americas in 1492. ZSA is a modest facility, reflecting the island's low population and its appeal to a specific type of traveler rather than mass tourism. Divers make up a large share of arrivals, drawn by dramatic wall dives and clear water along the coastline, part of a marine environment free of the runoff and development found on busier islands. Flights connect mainly through Nassau, with limited direct service from the United States during peak periods. Away from the resorts, the island stays quiet and undeveloped, with monuments at the disputed landing site adding historical interest to the diving economy ZSA supports.
