About Great Harbour Cay Airport

Overview

Great Harbour Cay Airport serves Bullocks Harbour in the Bahamas, functioning as a medium-sized airport located at 25.738300, -77.840103. Positioned at 18 feet mean sea level, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Berry Islands region, supporting regional and transit aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's 18 ft elevation suggests a maritime tropical climate with potential for significant wind and humidity variations. Pilots should anticipate typical Bahamian weather patterns, which can include rapid atmospheric changes and potential marine layer developments due to the coastal location.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (13/31) with a substantial length of 4,536 feet, constructed with bituminous (BIT) surface material. Its geographic position in the Berry Islands offers a strategic aviation gateway, with terrain characteristics typical of Bahamian island topography.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31 provides directional flexibility for arrivals and departures, with orientation allowing for potential wind-adaptive approaches. Given the runway's orientation and the airport's coastal location, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind conditions and conduct thorough preflight wind assessments.
