  "connection_tips": "Rum Cay International Airport (RCY) serves as the gateway to one of the Bahamas' most remote and pristine islands, located in the southeastern part of the archipelago. This small island airport provides essential connectivity for visitors seeking world-class diving, bone fishing, and complete tranquility away from the crowds. The facility is extremely basic, with minimal passenger amenities, so travelers should come prepared with necessary supplies and refreshments.\n\nFlights to Rum Cay typically operate from Nassau (NAS) via small aircraft, often charter services or inter-island carriers like Airstars. The tropical climate of the Bahamas provides generally excellent flying weather year-round, though summer afternoon thunderstorms and occasional tropical systems can impact flight schedules. Always confirm flight arrangements well in advance, as service to this remote island can be limited and subject to weather conditions.\n\nGround transportation on the island consists primarily of local taxi services or transportation arranged through accommodations, as the island is quite small with limited infrastructure. Most visitors to Rum Cay are either staying at fishing lodges, diving resorts, or camping facilities, so pre-arranged transportation is typically coordinated with your accommodation provider.\n\nRum Cay offers exceptional opportunities for sport fishing, scuba diving on pristine reefs, and exploring untouched beaches. The island's remote location and minimal development make it ideal for travelers seeking an authentic Bahamian out-island experience. Visitors should plan to be self-sufficient and prepare for limited services compared to more developed tourist destinations in the Bahamas.",

  "terminal_info": "Rum Cay International Airport operates with a single asphalt runway 09/27 measuring 1,372 meters by 30 meters (4,501 feet by 98 feet) at 15 feet elevation, serving the small island of Rum Cay in the Bahamas. Located near Port Nelson, this airport provides essential connectivity for one of the more remote islands in the Bahamian archipelago.\n\nTerminal facilities are basic and appropriate for a small island airport, offering fundamental passenger processing capabilities for inter-island flights within the Bahamas. The facility operates without sophisticated amenities, focusing on essential services required for small aircraft operations and passenger movement between the outer islands.\n\nOperational characteristics center on domestic flights connecting Rum Cay to Nassau and other Bahamian islands, supporting tourism and local transportation needs. The airport operates under the Miami FIR and relies on weather information from San Salvador International Airport, located 53 kilometers away, as it does not publish its own METAR reports.\n\nThe airport's strategic importance lies in maintaining vital air links for Rum Cay's residents and visitors, enabling access to this remote island known for diving, fishing, and pristine natural beauty. The facility supports the island's tourism industry and provides essential connectivity for emergency services and cargo transport in this isolated part of the Bahamas.",
