Emirates has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Bahamasair to establish an interline partnership benefitting customers travelling to The Bahamas.
The partnership enables Emirates to expand its reach in the Caribbean, allowing customers to utilize the services of The Bahamas’ national flag carrier from Florida to one of three destinations on the island country.
Under the unilateral agreement, customers traveling on Emirates to Miami or Orlando will be able to connect to Bahamasair flights to Nassau, Freeport or San Salvador.
Adnan Kazim, deputy president and chief commercial officer said: “We are pleased to establish an interline partnership with Bahamasair to expand our reach to new and exciting destinations and offer travel options for our customers planning journeys to the Caribbean nation. The interline partnership offers customers the convenience of connecting in Florida for travel onwards to points across the islands of The Bahamas, while enjoying competitive fare pricing, the convenience of booking the entire journey on a single ticket and a generous baggage policy.”
“This partnership also supports our agreement with The Bahamas’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs to promote the Caribbean destination across our network.”
As part of the MoU, both carriers will also explore opportunities to enhance their cargo interline cooperation and potential partnerships under their frequent flyer programmes.
Tracy Cooper, Bahamasair Managing Director noted that the partnership will significantly elevate Bahamasair’s global profile and open access to invaluable expertise and new markets. Tracy further emphasized that by aligning with one of the world’s most respected airlines, Bahamasair’s international growth will be sustained and will also lay groundwork for the airline’s capability to grow.
