Remote island airstrip serving the Ragged Island chain.

Location
Duncan Town, Bahamas
Duncan Town Airport (IATA: DCT, ICAO: MYRD) is a small general aviation airstrip located in Duncan Town, the main settlement on Ragged Island in the southern Bahamas. It provides essential air access to one of the most remote and sparsely populated communities in the Bahamian archipelago. The airport serves light aircraft and small regional planes, functioning as a lifeline for residents who depend on air transport for travel, mail, and supplies. The surrounding area was heavily impacted by Hurricane Irma in 2017, which devastated much of Ragged Island and led to a prolonged recovery and resettlement effort. Given the island's tiny population and extreme remoteness, commercial scheduled service is minimal or nonexistent at most times, with access primarily via charter flights or private aircraft.
Terminals
The airport has no formal passenger terminal building; facilities are extremely basic, consistent with a remote island airstrip.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options on Ragged Island are extremely limited, as the island is very small and sparsely populated with few vehicles.
