About Staniel Cay Airport

Overview

Staniel Cay Airport serves the Exuma district in the Bahamas, located on a small island in the central Bahamas archipelago. Positioned at 24.169100, -76.439102, this medium airport provides essential aviation access to the Staniel Cay region, supporting local transportation and tourism needs in the area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 5 ft MSL indicates minimal terrain variation and typically stable atmospheric conditions characteristic of Bahamian coastal environments. Pilots should anticipate maritime weather influences, with potential wind variations and occasional tropical maritime air masses affecting local conditions.

Notable Features

The single runway 17/35 extends 3030 feet with a bituminous (BIT) surface, offering adequate length for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical position on a small Bahamian cay suggests potential crosswind challenges and the need for careful wind assessment during approach and landing.

Approach Considerations

Given the runway's 17/35 orientation, prevailing winds will significantly influence landing and takeoff directions. Pilots should carefully evaluate wind conditions and be prepared to adjust approach strategies, maintaining heightened situational awareness when operating at this coastal airport environment.
