MARSH HARBOUR, Abaco – The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism welcomed the inaugural Silver Airways flight from Tampa to Marsh Harbour, Abaco, on Saturday, February 14. Director General of Tourism Joy Jibrilu, executives and staff of the Ministry of Tourism, MP for North Abaco Renardo Curry, Administrator Preston Cunningham, and Silver Airways ground staff greeted the visitors upon their arrival in Marsh Harbour. Joining them in the official welcome ceremonies were Tampa International Airport Vice-President of Marketing Christopher Minner and his wife, Mrs. Andie Minner who arrived on the inaugural flight.

Silver Airways now offers twice-weekly nonstop flights between Tampa and Marsh Harbour, on Saturdays and Sundays.

In addition to the new nonstop service, daily one-stop connecting flights are available. Silver is a major provider of routes between Florida and The Bahamas, connecting with Marsh Harbour, Treasure Cay, Governor’s Harbour, North Eleuthera, Freeport, George Town, and Bimini.

The new route offers ease of travel between Tampa Bay and the Abacos, a premier boating haven in the region, and of course facilitates sport fishermen and leisure travelers for whom Abaco is like home away from home.
