BAHAMAS AIMS TO BUILD ON 178% PRIVATE AVIATION RISE

THE Bahamas will have a strong presence at a major Florida air show as it seeks to further grow private aviation arrivals beyond 2022’s 178 percent increase over pre-COVID numbers.

The Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation, in a statement, confirmed it will make a major promotional push at the annual Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo under the theme ‘Soaring into The Bahamas Golden Jubilee’. The event, scheduled for March 28 to April 2 in Lakeland, Florida, will feature The Bahamas as the exclusive destination and a general aviation leader in the Caribbean region.

“We hope to deepen our relationships with trusted partners, such as Sun ‘n Fun, as The Bahamas expands its focus and investments in the aviation industry,” said John H. W. Pinder, the Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation’s parliamentary secretary.

“Events such as these help us to spread the word to aviation enthusiasts about The Bahamas’ exceptional flight service operations and the many islands that can accommodate private aircraft. The Bahamas truly showcases its beauty from the air when flying over our crystal blue waters.”

Over the past five years, the Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation said private aviation has delivered more than half a million visitors to The Bahamas. In 2022 alone, the destination saw a 178 percent increase - almost tripling private aviation numbers compared to preCOVID levels from 2019.

Sun ‘n Fun, now in its 49th year, is the largest aviation event of its kind in the southern US and attracts nearly 250,000 people over the course of the week at the Lakeland Linder

Regional Airport. The ministry has participated in the expo for more than 20 years to promote the ease of flying to The Bahamas and spur business-to-business opportunities with aviation industry stakeholders.

The Bahamas will provide visitors with destination updates, health and safety tips, and direct access to Customs and Civil Aviation Authority representatives. Attendees will be able to sit in on special forums on the ease of flying to The Bahamas conducted by veteran Bahamas Flying Ambassadors, Rick Gardiner and Mike Zidziunas. The latter is from the Central Florida Aerospace Academy (CFAA).

At the end of the weeklong expo, dozens of pilots will participate in a flyout from the Lakeland Florida airport to Grand Bahama to demonstrate this nation’s proximity to south Florida.

Reginald Saunders, the Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation’s permanent secretary, said: “I am certain that our participation in this event will continue to boost interest in flying to The

Bahamas, and highlight the visual wonders, delicious cuisine and abundant cultural experiences our country has to offer.”

The Bahamas has 54 airports throughout its archipelago, with 25 privately-owned and the remaining 29 in the Government’s control. Twenty are official ports of entry, equipped with Customs and Immigration officials to process private pilots’ entries and departures.
