Middle Caicos Airport (MDS) is a small, surfaced, 2460 foot (750m) airstrip, with a single terminal airport building. It’s located in the center of Middle Caicos near the village of
Conch Bar.
The airport is currently closed and has no scheduled flights or emergency services. Due to the construction of the
North and Middle Caicos causeway,
charter and private flights to the two islands use the
North Caicos Airport (NCA) instead.
In the past, scheduled
domestic flights were offered to both North Caicos and Middle Caicos, however, the introduction of a passenger
ferry service from Providenciales and the construction of the causeway reduced flight demand to the extent that it was no longer feasible for local airlines to operate scheduled flight routes to the two islands.
There are no operating emergency services at the Middle Caicos airport.
Airport Café
A small restaurant, Dillion's Café, serves snacks and cold drinks and is located inside the terminal building (despite the airport being closed). This is a convenient place to purchase a cold drink after visiting the adjacent attractions of
Conch Bar Caves or
Caicos Pine Yard Trail.
