Tradewind Aviation has launched 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 travellers with a private charter experience for the cost of a single seat.

On the heels of its new scheduled service to Tortola, Virgin Gorda and other popular hotspots, and within less than one year of opening a southeast base, Tradewind’s introduction of seasonal scheduled routes to Marsh Harbour and North Eleuthera marks the latest move in its aggressive expansion into the highly competitive Bahamas market.

“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 among 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,” says co-founder and CCO David Zipkin. “With consumer demand continuing to rise, we are 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.”

Services from the private Atlantic Aviation FBO at West Palm Beach airport will run Thursday to Monday from 19 December, 2024, to 26 May, 2025. Prices begin at $229 one way.
