This airport connects Haiti to airports like Miami International Airport, Providenciales International Airport, Cibao International Airport and others in the Caribbean. The last airport for refueling for general aviation coming from the Bahamas into Haiti is Great Inagua, an airport in Matthew Town (IATA: IGA, ICAO: MYIG).
