About Arthur's Town Airport

Overview

Arthur's Town Airport serves the Cat Island region in the Bahamas, located at coordinates 24.629400, -75.673797. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 18 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for this island community. The airport supports regional transportation with its two substantial runways capable of handling various aircraft types.

Flying Conditions

Being situated in the Bahamas, Arthur's Town Airport experiences tropical maritime weather conditions with potential variability. The low elevation of 18 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-induced turbulence, which generally contributes to stable approach and departure environments. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime wind patterns that could influence runway selection and landing conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two significant runways: runway 12/30 measuring 7015 feet with asphalt surface, and runway 14/32 measuring 7000 feet also with asphalt construction. These parallel runways provide operational flexibility, allowing pilots multiple approach and departure options based on wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths accommodate a wide range of aircraft sizes and types.

Approach Considerations

Given the parallel runway configuration, pilots have strategic options for approach based on prevailing wind directions. The similar lengths of runways 12/30 and 14/32 (both approximately 7000 feet) offer consistent landing performance characteristics. The airport's low elevation and island location suggest careful attention to potential crosswind conditions during approach and landing phases.
