Aeroporto di Norman's Cay (NMC)

Norman's Cay Airport (IATA: NMC / ICAO: MYEN) is a small but historically significant airport located on Norman's Cay in the Exumas, within the Bahamas. The airport is primarily used for domestic flights and serves as a key transit point for travelers looking to explore the pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters of this tropical archipelago.

Established in the mid-20th century, Norman's Cay gained notorious fame in the 1980s as a hub for illicit drug trafficking, operated by the Medellín Cartel under the leadership of Carlos Lehder. Since those days, the Cay and its airport have transitioned to more legitimate activities and play a pivotal role in connecting visitors to this serene region of the Bahamas.

The airport features a single runway, which measures approximately 1,000 meters in length, accommodating smaller aircraft typically used for island hopping. Despite its modest size, it plays a valuable role in the local tourism industry, welcoming hundreds of tourists annually. However, it does not handle the heavy traffic or large commercial airliners seen in more prominent airports.

In recent years, upgrades and investments have been made to ensure safety and improve the overall passenger experience. While specific statistics on flights, passenger numbers, or airlines servicing Norman's Cay are not readily available, the airport continues to be an essential entry point for adventurers looking to experience the idyllic charm and adventure that Norman's Cay and the surrounding Exumas offer.
