Springpoint Airport

Overview

Spring Point Airport is the main air gateway for Spring Point on Acklins Island in the southern Bahamas, giving visitors a practical entry point to one of the archipelago’s quieter and less-developed communities. Listed as AXP and MYAP, it is a medium airport that supports regional access rather than big-hub traffic, so the experience is typically simpler and more relaxed than at major international terminals. For travellers, that usually means a more straightforward arrival and departure process, with the airport functioning primarily as a convenient link between island life and the wider Bahamas.

What Travellers Should Know

Runway And Operations

The airport has a single asphalt runway, 13/31, measuring 5,000 feet, which is well suited to the kind of domestic and regional operations travellers can expect in the Out Islands. Its low elevation of just 11 feet adds to the sense that you are arriving almost at sea level, a common feature across much of the Bahamas. In practical terms, Spring Point Airport is best understood as a functional island airport: compact, easy to navigate, and focused on getting passengers in and out efficiently rather than offering the broad services of a large mainland terminal.
