Arthur's Town Airport has long served Cat Island, with charter operator Aeroshares Charter, LLC providing service to the island from worldwide locations, alongside charter flights from Florida and Nassau. The airport underwent a major transformation under the Bahamian government's Family Island Airports Renaissance Project, which included expanding the terminal building from just over 1,200 square feet to more than 6,000 square feet, complete with ticket counters, office space and a security screening section. The renovated airport was officially commissioned, with national flag carrier Bahamasair operating a Boeing 737 flight into the field carrying guests for the ceremony, and government figures citing the project as a boost to safety, connectivity and the local tourism economy.
Following its renovation, Arthur's Town Airport now has an expanded terminal with ticket counters, office space and a security screening area, reflecting its role as one of the upgraded Family Island airports. The field continues to be used for charter flights connecting Cat Island with Florida and Nassau, and an aviation ambulance service has also been established on the island to improve access to emergency care.
