It used to be that you could only get to Rum by boat or private charter.
Times have changed and more flight options will soon become available as a brand new airport terminal is in the works.
Getting to Rum Cay
Don't have your own plane?
Cat Island Air
For now there is only one commercial airline that services Rum Cay. Cat Island Air flies Nassau to Rum every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The flight is scheduled to leave Nassau at 11 am arriving in Rum Cay around 12 noon. It's then scheduled to turn around and fly straight back to Nassau arriving around 1:15pm. Although Cat Island Air has a reputation of not being on time and not even flying they have, as of recent, taken a more profressional turn for the better.
You can call them to make your reservation at 242-377-3318. A one way flight is $95.
Over Under Aviation
Over Under is a charter company that flies out of Fort Lauderdale. They have a six seater Aztec or a nine seater Navajo. They also offer one way seat prices for $300.
You can check them out at www.overundercharters.com.
In 2004 Rum Cay was blessed with a brand new air strip. It's 4500 ft paved with 500 ft over runs. And there are plans to expand it to 6000 ft! Right now you will find limited services at the airport. But we do have jet "A" & Av/gas for sale!!!! Let us know if you need to be fueled up on arrival and we can have the fuel truck ready!
Montana Holdings has plans for a 5000 sq ft airport building which will finally house Customs. However, until then you will not find a toilet or a telephone. So it's best to let someone know you're coming, otherwise, it's a three mile walk into town! We ask that you inform us of your ETA and then have your pilot "buzz" over the marina to let us know you're here. Sometimes you may get cell phone service so you can call us instead at
242-331-2802 for a taxi pickup.
George's Taxi
$25 one way from the airport to Sumner Point Marina. Just let us know and we can have George ready and waiting upon your arrival.

Services available: Jet "A" & Av/Gas, aircraft emergency maintence by an AP/IA
Call Sumner Point Marina @ 242-455-3193. It's best to call ahead & give them your ETA.
If you’re flying IFR we can track you on www.flightaware.com. Just give us your tail #!
Clearing Customs
Until the airport building is completed all private charter planes must clear customs prior to arriving on Rum Cay. We would suggest clearing in to Stella Maris, Georgetown or New Bight.
If you are arriving by boat you will also need to clear in on another island such as San Salvador or Long Island.
