NASSAU, Bahamas - Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) joined airports around the world to commemorate International Shoreline Cleanup Week with a coastal cleanup exercise. On Saturday, a team of 25 from Nassau Airport Development’s corporate office took to Coral Harbour Beach and collected more than 550lbs of waste from the area.
The initiative originated from Vantage Airport Group as a part of the company’s overall commitment to environmental sustainability. LPIA is one of nine airport sites within the Vantage network.

According to Vantage, “Airports are often located near bodies of water, and as such, are keenly aware of their business’s long-term impact to the local ecosystem. As a part of a continued commitment to environmental sustainability, Vantage Airport Group (operator of LPIA) launched a debris collection initiative to coincide with International Shoreline Cleanup Week.”
Vernice Walkine, President & CEO at NAD, thanked her team for participating in the exercise. “On a local level, it is important for our airport community to understand the impact we have on the natural environment,” Walkine said. “As a team, we participate in regular cleanup exercises at LPIA. Through this exercise, we were able to extend our reach beyond the physical airport property to a neighbouring community. I am extremely pleased with our team members who participated and would like to thank them for taking the time to make a difference.”
Next year, NAD plans to expand the initiative by inviting airport partners to participate in a week of activities surrounding environmental sustainability culminating with the shoreline cleanup exercise.
