MESSAGE FROM BAHAMASAIR CHAIRMAN

With over 700 untouched, scarcely populated islands and cays, we can boast deserted beaches, natural wonders, and quiet sanctuaries...

Sit back, relax and enjoy!

It is our pleasure to have you flying with us.

With great enthusiasm, I am honoured to welcome you to The Islands of The Bahamas. To both our tourists and our residents alike, I thank you for choosing our national flag carrier, Bahamasair, for your trip.

This quarter’s Up and Away magazine focuses on the culinary fusion culture of our Family Islands, some of which I truly hope you will have the opportunity to experience and enjoy.

The Out Islands, a term which, since the 1970s, has been changed to the Family Islands, are the islands that make up The Bahamas with the exception of New Providence Island, where the capital and largest city, Nassau, is located, and Grand Bahama Island, where Freeport, the second city, is located.

Fun fact! There are approximately 700 Family Islands, however, only a few of them are inhabited.

With over 700 untouched, scarcely populated islands and cays, we can boast deserted beaches, natural wonders, and quiet sanctuaries for exotic wildlife. Just miles of tropical beauty coloured in a thousand shades of blue. It’s amazing out here.

In my opinion, so much more than any of the other Caribbean islands, The Bahamas’ Family Islands are absolute beach-lovers’ and water-lovers’ paradises and offer unparalleled collections of the region’s best beaches, snorkelling and diving. In addition, fishing, kayaking, boating and sailing, birdwatching, and ecotravel are other available activities.

We are excited that you are here and whatever you choose to do in The Bahamas, we are sure you’ll have a wonderful time! I wish to extend a warm welcome home to our residents and an equally warm welcome to our tourists.

Keep in touch with us on our website and our social media pages for the latest news, updates and tips for this and upcoming trips!

All the very best,

Anthony Kikivarakis Sr., Chairman of Bahamasair
