JetBlue is launching its first-ever nonstop flight from Los Angeles to Nassau in November. The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation (BMOTIA) welcomes the announcement by the airline, which connects the United States West Coast to the Islands of The Bahamas.
The weekly route will debut on November 4, departing Saturdays from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Nassau’s Sir Lynden Pindling Airport (NAS).
“Over the past nine months, the Ministry has been in constant dialogue with key international aviation stakeholders, including JetBlue to increase airlift capacity to meet the demand for travel to our destination,” the Honourable I. Chester Cooper, Bahamas Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation, said in a statement.
“We are thrilled that within a few short months, travelers will be able to board a JetBlue flight in Los Angeles and be in The Bahamas within a matter of hours, to enjoy the beautiful beaches, the rich culture and the myriad of experiences on offer in Nassau and Paradise Island,” DPM Cooper continued.
The Los Angeles/Nassau nonstop route will also allow for more connectivity from major markets in Asia and the Pacific, putting The Bahamas’ 16 destinations in easier reach for new visitors. The new Los Angeles/Nassau route will also feature JetBlue’s award-winning Mint premium service.
