Orlando Florida – On Wednesday, June 22, 2016, Chairman Valentine Grimes and Senior Manger Sales, Mr. Woodrow Wilson, along with Executives of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority welcomed the arrival of the new non-stop service from Freeport to Orlando. The flight arrived at 11:00am with seventy passengers on board, utilizing one of five brand new ATR aircraft purchased by the company in November 2015.
This service will initially operate two days a week, on Wednesday and Saturday but it is anticipated that as demand builds, the airline will increase its frequency.
Chairman Grimes remarked that the launch of this new service “signals our commitment to recapturing our competitive position as the preferred carrier of choice among the local market for travel to and from Florida.”
He also affirmed that marketing efforts through partnerships with the Ministry of Tourism, the Grand Bahama Island Tourism Board and the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority will ensure the further success of this flight.
“Bahamasair’s decision to launch new service at Orlando International is a testament to our long standing and successful 31 year relationship,” says Frank Kruppenbacher, Chairman of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. “This new twice-weekly Freeport service will provide our passengers with options to yet another desirable international island destination.”
Passengers travelling throughout the month of June are able to take advantage of the attractive introductory airfare of $232.00 and it is anticipated that more appealing packages will be offered by the company in conjunction with the Ministry of Tourism in an effort to encourage travel to Grand Bahama Island.
