    Leonard M. Thompson International Airport, formerly known as The Marsh Harbour International Airport[4] (IATA: MHH, ICAO: MYAM), is an airport serving Marsh Harbour, a town in the Abaco Islands, The Bahamas.[2] Marsh Harbour is a major tourist attraction. The airport offers scheduled passenger flights to Nassau and several destinations in Florida as well as regional jet flights nonstop to three major U.S. hubs, Atlanta, Charlotte and Miami in the U.S. In 2007 a new runway was built to allow larger, regional jets to operate from Marsh Harbour. A new airport terminal opened on 27 May 2014.

    Facilities[edit]

    The airport has an elevation of 6 ft (1.8 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway, designated 09/27, that has an asphalt surface measuring 1,859 m × 30 m (6,100 ft × 100 ft).[2] In 2006, the old runway was converted into a taxiway after the new 6,100-foot-long (1,859 m) runway opened.

    The new airport terminal opened on 27 May 2014 after three years of construction. The building incorporates architectural elements that reflect culture of The Bahamas. The new 46,000-square-foot (4,300 m2) terminal has 22 counter positions, a new luggage scanning system, pilot briefing room, two restaurants, one lounge, shops, and a public parking area.[5][6][7]

    Marsh Harbour International Airport was renamed the Leonard M. Thompson International Airport on 25 May 2016. Thompson was a prominent son of Hope Town who flew bombers for the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II.[8]
