Bahamas welcomes Frontier Airlines to Nassau at Lynden Pindling International Airport

The Bahamas welcomed Frontier Airlines’ inaugural flight yesterday with great excitement as it landed at the Lynden Pindling International Airport. Frontier is the first ultra-low-cost carrier to enter the Caribbean market with multiple travel days per week.

  1. Frontier will operate direct flights from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Nassau (NAS) four times a week, starting July 2021.
  2. The Bahamas is on a path of tourism recovery and economic restoration following a devastating hurricane and the COVID-19 pandemic.
  3. A robust increase in airlift from major source markets figures as a key element in the Ministry’s overall strategy for tourism recovery.

As travel continues a steady return, The Bahamas is eager to welcome back visitors with more flight options and deals this summer. Frontier will operate direct flights from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Nassau (NAS) four times a week, starting July 2021.

The addition of Frontier Airlines to the growing number of air carriers servicing The Bahamas comes as a result of the ongoing drive by the Ministry of Tourism & Aviation and key industry partners to expand airlift to the destination.  A robust increase in airlift from major source markets figures as a key element in the Ministry’s overall strategy for tourism recovery.
