SkyBahamas Airlines has announced plans to offer significant airfare reductions for Grand Bahama residents and visitors traveling between Freeport and Ft. Lauderdale.

According to the company's CEO/President, Captain Randy Butler the company's Directors made a decision to reduce air travel during the month of August to Two Hundred and Ninety Nine Dollars ($299.00) to facilitate the "hassle free" travel of passengers between the two destinations.

In spite of recently announced additional taxations being imposed by the government on local and domestic carriers, Captain Butler insists that the company's response will still be to continue it's legacy of putting people before profits, and heralded that this "airfare drop is a continued demonstration of the airline's appreciation and commitment to the people of Grand Bahama..."

Major roads and highways throughout New Providence will be paved as part of the Ministry of Works' ongoing road maintenance programme.

The East/West Highway, Thompson Boulevard and Bay Street are among thoroughfares on which re-surfacing has already been carried out.

Paving is expected to continue until the end of August and is being done by Bahamix, a division of the Ministry of Works.
