Location

South Caicos, Turks and Caicos Islands

South Caicos Airport (IATA: XSC, ICAO: MBSC) is a small regional airport serving South Caicos, one of the inhabited islands of the Turks and Caicos Islands in the British Overseas Territory of the same name. The airport provides essential air links for this remote community, which is known for its world-class diving, fishing, and unspoiled natural environment. The airport handles light inter-island and charter traffic, connecting South Caicos primarily to Providenciales and Grand Turk. It plays a vital logistical role for the island's small resident population as well as visiting divers and ecotourists drawn to the surrounding Caicos Bank and marine reserves.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of inter-island and charter operations.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on South Caicos is limited, with taxis and informal arrangements being the primary means of reaching accommodations from the airport.

Inter-island carriers such as Air Turks and Caicos and charter operators have historically provided service, with no major international airline hubs present.
