Bahamasair and Royal Caribbean International have joined forces to enhance domestic airlift and support the cruise sector with the launch of a Nassau-Great Harbour Cay route.

The service will begin on October 7 to support Royal Caribbean’s growing cruise operations in the region and enhance connectivity between Nassau and one of the country’s most stunning Family Island destinations.

“In December 2022, we commissioned the new, state-of-the-art Great Harbour Cay Airport as part of the Bahamas Family Islands Renaissance Project. This renaissance continues to drive unprecedented demand for new, expanded and reliable international and domestic airlift connectivity throughout our islands destination and further strengthens our relationship with key industry strategic partners such as Royal Caribbean International”, said Dr. Kenneth Romer, Director of Aviation and Deputy Director General of Tourism.

Under this strategic partnership, Bahamasair will provide scheduled flights that align with Royal Caribbean’s cruise itineraries. The collaboration both expands the airline’s domestic route network and reinforces The Bahamas’ position as a premier cruise and air travel hub in the Caribbean.

“The route launch is a response to broader demand effort to strengthen inter-island airlift and support the sustainable growth of tourism across the archipelago. By enhancing the connection between Nassau and Great Harbour Cay, the partnership will also provide greater travel options for local residents, stimulate economic activity, support the development of tourism services in the Berry Islands and generate more revenue for Bahamasair”, said Tracey Cooper, Managing Director at Bahamasair.

The new flights will operate on Tuesdays, with tickets available through Bahamasair’s official website at www.bahamasair.com, any Bahamasair city ticket office or local travel agency.
