“The Department of Civil Aviation wishes to announce the temporary closure of the Runway at Staniel Cay, Exuma. The closure will allow for the immediate repair of sections of the runway by the Ministry of Works and Urban Development.  The Ministry of Works & Urban Development has undertaken to complete the requisite work within the shortest possible time.

The Civil Aviation Department has issued a NOTAM and has further advised the local Administrator so as to assure all stakeholders are informed as to the temporary closure.

During the closure of the runway, an alternative access route to Staniel Cay is by flying into nearby Black Point, Exuma, and taking a five minute ferry to Staniel Cay.

The Department of Civil Aviation apologizes for any inconvenience caused as a result of this temporary closure, however the safety of all users remains our paramount concern.”
