Some exciting news for travelers and locals alike, the North Eleuthera Airport Harbour Island is officially undergoing major upgrades, with construction already in progress as of May 2025. Initial improvements include roof repairs, upgraded check-in and arrival areas, new restroom facilities, mold remediation, and full air conditioning. These enhancements are part of a broader effort to modernize the gateway that serves as the primary arrival point for visitors to Harbour Island.

The redevelopment is part of a $55 million transformation project that was initially funded through a loan from the Saudi Fund for Development. Due to delays, the Bahamian government secured alternative financing from the Plenary International Fund, ensuring the project remains on track. Groundbreaking for the new terminal is expected by mid-2025, with completion set for mid-2026.

Once finished, the new North Eleuthera Airport Harbour Island terminal will more than double the airport’s capacity,  expanding from 300,000 to 700,000 passengers annually, and is projected to create over 300 direct jobs. These improvements will make travel faster and more comfortable, especially for those using the airport as a hub for reaching the island.

As highlighted in every trusted Harbour Island Info source, this infrastructure upgrade will dramatically improve access to one of the Bahamas’ most sought-after destinations. Whether you're flying in for a weekend escape or a longer stay, the upgraded airport ensures that getting to Harbour Island will be easier, smoother, and more enjoyable than ever before.
