Freeport, Bahamas -- Vision Airlines will reconnect Grand Bahama Island with direct air
service to at least five (5) US cities beginning in November, the Grand
Bahama Tourist Office announced today.
Beginning November
11, 2011, Vision Airlines will provide non-stop jet service to Grand
Bahama Island from a number of US cities, including Richmond, Virginia;
Louisville, Kentucky; Greensboro, North Carolina, Baltimore, Maryland
and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Using a 136 seat Boeing 737-300 aircraft,
Vision Airlines will add some 100,000 available seats annually to Grand
Bahama Island in its first phase of operations.
As a result,
Grand Bahama Island will once again be available to these familiar gateways
offering 5 day/4 night packages ranging from $449.00 to $549.00, including
air. This resumption of non-stop jet service ends a seven-year
break in service previously provided by Grand Bahama Vacations, via
the former Laker Airways.
Established
in 1994, Vision Airlines, is the US' newest big jet, low-cost carrier.
It has flights to five Florida vacation destinations from 15 southern
US cities and Niagara Falls, New York.
