NASSAU, The Bahamas - Prime Minister Perry Christie officially opened the $83.5 million Domestic Arrivals and Departures and International Departures Terminal, during a special ceremony at Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) on Thursday, October 17. The ceremony signifies the final opening of three phases in the redevelopment of the airport project.
In his remarks Prime Minister Christie challenged the Nassau Airport Development Company (NAD), the Ministry of Tourism and the hotel and tourism industry to work assiduously with domestic, existing and international carriers to secure more airlift to accommodate the large traffic demand in New Providence and the Family Islands.
The Prime Minister said he envisions a greater role to be played by Bahamasair, the national airline, in a strategic public/private sector partnership in the development of new international routes as well as the provision of efficient, cost effective transportation in some of the country's main markets.
It is in the best interest of both the staff of Bahamasair and the economic interest of the country, for the same improvements at the national airline which have been achieved in the transformation of the Lynden Pindling Airport, the Prime Minister noted.
The Government has committed to implementing the NAD model which the Airport Authority has created at LPIA as a part of a strategy and policy at other airports in the Family Islands he said.
