Unknown. The airport is not officially documented in historical records. If it was associated with the historical Wilson City logging town, it would have been abandoned after the town's decline circa 1916. Its entry in unofficial aviation databases is likely a historical placeholder with no specific closure date recorded.
Unknown due to a lack of official records. The most probable reason is economic, linked to the abandonment of the Wilson City logging settlement in the early 20th century. The town was founded by a timber company around 1906 and largely deserted by 1916 when logging operations ceased, removing the sole economic driver for the settlement and its supporting infrastructure.
The site at the specified coordinates (26.37474, -77.00429) is undeveloped natural scrubland on Great Abaco Island. There are no visible remnants of a runway, buildings, or any other airport infrastructure on current satellite imagery. The land appears to have been completely reclaimed by nature.
The airport has no documented historical significance and its existence is primarily noted in unofficial aviation databases using the non-standard identifier BS-0015. If it existed, it was almost certainly a small, private, and rudimentary unpaved airstrip. Its operations would have been limited to small, private aircraft supporting the Bahamas Timber Company's logging activities or other minor private ventures in the remote area. It was not a public or military airport.
None. There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening an airport at this location. The site is remote, lacks any infrastructure, and there is no current economic or logistical need for an airfield in the immediate vicinity, especially with larger, established airports like Marsh Harbour (MYAM) serving the island.
