Gateway to remote and scenic Cat Island, Bahamas.

Location
New Bight, Cat Island, Bahamas
New Bight Airport (IATA: TBI, ICAO: MYCB) is a small domestic airport serving New Bight, the administrative capital of Cat Island in the central Bahamas. It provides essential air access to this relatively remote island, which is known for its natural beauty, the highest point in the Bahamas (Mount Alvernia), and its tranquil, unspoiled character. The airport operates with basic facilities suited to a small island community, handling light aircraft and regional turboprop services. It plays a vital role in connecting Cat Island residents and visitors to Nassau and other Bahamian destinations, as sea travel to the island can be lengthy.
