US private aviation industry leader Tradewind Aviation is pleased to announce the launch of new scheduled service routes to two of the Bahamas' most exclusive outer islands: Marsh Harbour and North Eleuthera, from Palm Beach. Flights will operate from private jet FBO terminals, providing discerning travellers a private charter experience for the cost of a single seat.

On the heels of its new scheduled service announcement to Tortola, Virgin Gorda and other popular hotspots earlier this month, Tradewind's introduction of seasonal scheduled routes to Marsh Harbour and North Eleuthera marks the latest strategic move by the operator in continuing its aggressive expansion into the highly competitive Bahamas market. Within less than one year of opening Tradewind's southeast base, the operator has firmly solidified its position as a leading private aviation operator for discerning regional travellers.

“Since the opening of our southeast base last year near Palm Beach, Tradewind saw great success with our Pilatus PC-12 private charter offerings to the Bahamas' outer islands amongst our local and seasonal clientele base as we were able to meet the market gap for efficient and cost-effective private flight service to these highly sought-after locales.” remarked David Zipkin, co-founder and chief commercial officer at Tradewind Aviation. “With consumer demand continuing to rise, we're thrilled to introduce new direct scheduled service flights to two of the most popular Bahamian hidden gems, Marsh Harbour and North Eleuthera, which will make these outer islands much more easily accessible and open up a world of opportunities for our clientele and local hospitality partners, in addition to benefiting the islands' local economies through boosted travel.”
