Can you fly to Castaway Cay?

Castaway Cay Airport – MYAG Castaway Cay Airport (ICAO: MYAG) is a private use airport located in Castaway Cay, the Bahamas. Castaway Cay is a private island in the Bahamas which is an exclusive port for the Disney Cruise Line.



No, you cannot fly directly to Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Line's private island in the Bahamas. The island does not have a commercial airport or a functional landing strip for fixed-wing aircraft. While there is a small, paved strip on the island, it is a remnant of its previous history as "Gorda Cay" and is now used primarily as a bicycle path and for maintenance vehicle access for Disney's "Island Crew." The only way to reach the island is as a passenger on a Disney Cruise Line ship. The island features a purpose-built pier that allows the massive cruise ships to dock directly, meaning guests can simply walk off the ship rather than using "tenders" (smaller boats). In very rare, life-threatening medical emergencies, a helicopter evacuation can be coordinated with the Bahamian authorities or the U.S. Coast Guard, but for the 99.9% of visitors, the journey begins and ends at the ship's gangway. This exclusivity is a core part of the island's appeal, ensuring that only Disney guests have access to its pristine beaches and specialized amenities.
