Chub Cay International Airport (CCZ)

Chub Cay International Airport (CCZ), also known by its ICAO code MYBC, is a prestigious private aviation facility located on the southern tip of the Berry Islands in the Bahamas. Serving as the primary gateway for the ultra-exclusive Chub Cay Resort & Marina, the airport acts as a critical link for high-net-worth individuals, sportfishing enthusiasts, and luxury travelers. The airfield is situated on a private island and is renowned for its discreet and efficient service, providing a seamless entry point to what is often called the 'Billfish Capital of the World.' The airport features a modern, functional terminal building specifically designed to manage the high standards of its clientele. As an official Bahamas Airport of Entry, the terminal houses dedicated rooms for customs and immigration, allowing international arrivals to clear formalities quickly and privately. Facilities include a comfortable passenger waiting lounge, administrative offices, and a dedicated pilot's briefing area. Operational support is provided by world-class Fixed Base Operators (FBOs), including the Chub Cay Resort FBO, which offers comprehensive services such as aircraft handling, fueling (both Jet A and Avgas), and concierge support. The airfield's primary infrastructure is centered around a 5,000-foot asphalt runway (11/29), capable of accommodating a wide range of private jets and regional turboprop aircraft. Commercial and charter services at CCZ are tailored to the resort's needs, with regular flights operated by boutique carriers like Aztec Airways and Makers Air. These airlines provide crucial non-stop links to international hubs such as Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) and regional destinations like Great Harbour Cay and Staniel Cay. The airport's role is fundamental to the island's luxury tourism economy, facilitating the rapid movement of guests between the US mainland and the resort's deep-water marina and beachfront villas. Ground transportation on the island is uniquely served by electric golf carts and resort shuttles, which meet every arriving aircraft to transport passengers directly to the clubhouse or their private accommodations.
