One of Nassau’s key air providers, JetBlue Airways, has announced it will add another flight to its services to The Bahamas.

The US carrier will now fly three times a day between Fort Lauderdale and Nassau. JetBlue also operates routes from Nassau to New York, Boston and Orlando.

In announcing the new flights, Scott Laurence, JetBlue’s vice president of network planning, said: “This additional flight would not be possible without the steadfast support of the Nassau and Paradise Island Promotion Board. We’re very happy with the tremendous support we’ve received from customers in both South Florida and The Bahamas.”

The vice president also praised the new $190-million US Departures Terminal at Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport which opened in February. “Whether it’s business or pleasure, an hour-long trip and three daily JetBlue flights make it very easy to reach The Bahamas; a shiny new terminal doesn’t hurt either!” he added.
