Tradewind builds out scheduled Bahamas service
Departures from Tradewind's newest South Florida presence, Fort Lauderdale, will depart from the Sheltair FBO at Hollywood International airport, and are set to take off to the Out Islands of the Bahamas in December.

Tradewind Aviation, a US private aviation specialist and pioneer of the shared charter concept, is pleased to announce the expansion of its scheduled service to the Bahamas. Building on the success and strong demand for its existing service to Marsh Harbour and North Eleuthera from Stuart, Florida , Tradewind will continue both routes this winter season, while adding new routes from Fort Lauderdale to Marsh Harbour and North Eleuthera. A new scheduled service route to Nassau from Stuart is also set to debut in December.

The expanded Bahamas routes will triple Tradewind's flight capacity to the Bahamas and introduce Nassau as the newest scheduled service destination reachable via Tradewind Aviation. Service to Marsh Harbour and North Eleuthera will commence from Fort Lauderdale this December, providing travellers from South Florida and beyond with convenient connectivity and direct access. All flights will depart from private jet terminals and operate in Tradewind's modern fleet of Pilatus PC-12 aircraft, offering a premium travel experience complete with two-pilot operations, an air-conditioned and pressurised cabin, comfortable leather seating and complimentary onboard snacks and refreshments.

“Our extended schedule, new routes from Fort Lauderdale and introduction of service to Nassau are in direct response to the strong, growing demand we've seen for convenient, comfortable and personalised service to the Bahamas,” comments David Zipkin, co-founder and chief commercial officer of Tradewind Aviation. “We're thrilled to enhance access to these sought-after destinations and provide our guests with more flexible options year-round.”

Scheduled service from Stuart will continue to connect travellers to Marsh Harbour and North Eleuthera through the winter months, on a convenient schedule that operates Thursday through Monday. Inaugural service to Nassau from Stuart is set to begin December 11 and will initially be available for booking through April 20, 2026. These flights will also be available Thursday through Sunday each week.
