FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – (October 20, 2011) – VPAA Co. dba/Gulfstream International Airlines (“Gulfstream”) announced today its plans to launch new daily scheduled air service from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Marsh Harbour (MHH) in The Bahamas. The new flights are now on sale for service scheduled to begin November 10, 2011, and will operate as follows:
“This new service underscores our commitment to offer the highest quality service and flexible flight options in the Florida-Bahamas market,” said Darrell Richardson, CEO of Gulfstream International Airlines. “To help accommodate the leisure travelers who we largely serve to destinations like the Bahamas, we developed a schedule that allows our customers to maximize their vacation time through the convenience of early morning departures to their destination and late evening returns.”
Gulfstream serves more destinations in The Bahamas than any other U.S. carrier. The new flights mark the airline’s first-ever service from Orlando to Marsh Harbour, and adds to Gulfstream’s two daily non-stop flights from Fort Lauderdale.
Marsh Harbour, a small town nestled in the heart of Great Abaco, is one of the world’s top boating, fishing and sailing destinations. Several protected underwater areas also make for excellent diving and snorkeling. Shopping and restaurant options are varied and plentiful, while the idyllic weather and wealth of water sports activities – boating, fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking and more – form the main attractions.
