Vision Airlines to Fly to the Bahamas

Posted 11/07/2011

US carrier Vision Airlines is to introduce flights to Grand Bahama Island in November after signing an agreement with the Grand Bahama Island Tourism Board to introduce links from Ft Lauderdale, FL, Louisville, KY, Richmond, VA, Raleigh/Durham, NC and Baltimore/Washington airports.  The airline will also offer a one-stop service without a change of aircraft from its new hub at Destin/Ft Walton Beach.

"These new flights will help to revitalize the tourism economy for Grand Bahama Island.  The Island is gorgeous and there is so much for a visitor to enjoy, including world-class bone fishing, a variety of eco-tourism opportunities, beautiful beaches, great watersports, golf and fantastic shopping and dining," said David Meers, Chief Operating Officer, Vision Airlines. 

"Grand Bahama Island has always been a great destination but getting there has become a very expensive and time-consuming process.  Our new non-stop, low-fare flights will make getting to Grand Bahama Island easy and affordable.  Our public/private partnership with the tourism board is a very good model and one that we have used successfully in Florida," he added.
