Bahamas: American Airlines is set to launch daily direct flights from Chicago to Nassau starting from Thursday.

He outlined, “We're very happy and very excited to finally get a chance to go into the Bahamas, especially knowing that Carnival is one of our best restaurants here that we service here in Chicago.” 

“We're happy about the opportunity for us to service on December the 5th to bring a lot of people on board to the Bahamas,” highlighted Brown.  

While the expanded service is a part of the airline’s broader commitment to meeting the growing demand for travel in the Bahamas, General Director at the Ministry of Tourism, Latia Duncombe also highlighted the significance of this market for the tourism sector of the country.  

She noted, “This market is ideal. It is ideal for sports, leisure groups, romance and everything else. And so, for us, when we look at these states, especially in the Midwest, we have our boots on the ground.” 

Duncombe added that the long-standing relationship with Chicago has been built on deep historical connections with the city serving as an important gateway for Midwest travelers to the Bahamas. 

She further noted that Chicago has been very instrumental in bringing both business and leisure visitors to the shores of the Bahamas and with this new daily service, several more people will get the chance to travel between the two destinations.
