Quick facts
- Airport name: Colonel Hill Airport
- Location served: Colonel Hill, Bahamas
- Codes: IATA CRI, ICAO MYCI

What to expect
Because the airport serves a small island community, facilities and passenger volumes are generally more modest than at major Caribbean airports, so it is wise to keep travel plans flexible and essentials close at hand. The single asphalt runway, aligned 09/27, handles the airport’s core traffic efficiently, while the very low elevation reflects its coastal setting. For travellers, the biggest advantage is convenience: after landing, you are already close to the island’s settlements and natural attractions, which can make the final leg of the journey feel quick and relaxed.
Helpful for travellers
When planning your trip, check flight times carefully in the America/Nassau time zone and confirm onward transport before arrival, especially if you are connecting to accommodation outside Colonel Hill. Smaller airports can mean faster arrivals and less waiting, but they can also offer fewer on-site services, so carrying water, important documents, and any must-have items in your hand luggage is a smart move.
