Cat Island Air was founded in 1987. It was evicted from the Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) in 2011. The eviction was likely due to outstanding fees owed to the Nassau Airport Development Company (NAD). This was probably the end of Cat Island Air - It operated on a scheduled basis into The Bight Airport and Arthur's Town- Cat Island, Rum Cay and Great Harbour Cay in The Berry Islands |

The Bahamas is an independent state in the West Indies and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The Bahamas comprise an archipelago of about 700 islands and islets and nearly 2400 cays and rocks, extending for about 1200 km (about 750 mi) from a point southeast of Palm Beach, Florida, to a point off the eastern tip of Cuba. The Biminis, the westernmost of the group, are about 97 km (about 60 mi) east of Miami, Florida. Only about 40 of the islands are inhabited. New Providence is economically the most important of the group and contains more than half of the Bahamas' total population. The other chief islands, all of which are low-lying, include Acklins, Andros, Cat, Crooked, Eleuthera, Grand Bahama, Abaco, Great Inagua, Harbour, Long, Mayaguana, and San Salvador (Watling). The capital of the islands is Nassau, on New Providence. The only other large town is Freeport, on Grand Bahama.
