Vision Airlines plans to provide direct air service from Grand Bahama Island to at least five U.S. cities beginning in November.
Beginning November 11, 2011, Vision Airlines will provide non-stop jet service to Grand Bahama Island from Richmond, Virginia; Louisville, Kentucky; Greensboro, North Carolina, Baltimore, Maryland and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Flying a 136-seat Boeing 737-300 aircraft, the U.S. based carrier will add some 100,000 available seats annually to Grand Bahama Island in its first phase of operations.
Good news for Grand Bahama as the island will once again be available for travel packages including 5 day/4 night deals ranging from $449.00 to $549.00, including air. This resumption of non-stop jet service ends a seven-year break in service previously provided by Grand Bahama Vacations, via the former Laker Airways.
Established in 1994, Vision Airlines, is the US’ newest big jet, low-cost carrier. It has flights to five Florida vacation destinations from 15 southern US cities and Niagara Falls, New York.
