About Bahamas United Air
In the 1980’s, the draw of Bahamas crystal clear blue water, beautiful sugar sand beaches and glassy waves created a demand for reliable Passenger Airplane Charter Service to the Bahamas Islands. The founders of Air Flight, Inc. initially started flying surfers and beach explorers weekly on private charter flights to the Bahamas from from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Popular Bahamas destinations included Treasure Cay and Marsh Harbour in the Abacos as well as Harbour Island, North Eleuthera and Governor’s Harbour on Eleuthera, Chub Cay in the Berry Islands, Fresh Creek, San Andros, Mangrove Cay and Congo Town on Andros Island, Bimini, Staniel Cay, Exumas and, of course, Nassua, Bahamas.
Bahamas United Air’s parent company, Air Flight, was approved by the FAA in 1987 as an FAA licensed US Air Carrier to provide private passenger charter flights to Bahamas (as well as anywhere in the United States, Canada, Caribbean and Central America) hubbed out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida where we’ve been safely operating for 35 years, and climbing! Ever since then, we have been offering reliable, private air charter flights to the Bahamas ~ every island! 35 years of success can be attributed to great leadership and even better clientele that faithfully keep returning to fly with us to The Bahamas each year.
