Bahamas Airline Launches More Direct Flights from Jamaica

The Bahamian-owned Western Air launched its inaugural direct flight from Sangster International Airport, in Montego Bay, Jamaica, to the Linden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas.

This launch comes on the heels of major successes with its inaugural Kingston route. Western Air, the largest privately owned airline in the Bahamas, responded to several calls by Jamaicans who are living in the country, due to the void left by Air Jamaica that had earlier suspended that route.

With an introductory rate of $320 for a roundtrip, the airline departs Nassau at 9:30 a.m. with a scheduled arrival in Montego Bay at 10:30 a.m. It departs Montego Bay at 11:30 a.m. arriving in Nassau at 2:30 p.m.

Director of Operations for Western Air, Jennise Wedderburn, expressed appreciation to the Government of Jamaica for granting the airline the opportunity to provide flight service directly to Nassau, Bahamas from Jamaica.
