Emirates and Bahamasair Team Up for Seamless Travel
Emirates and Bahamasair have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish an interline partnership aimed at benefiting customers travelling to The Bahamas. This partnership allows Emirates to enhance its presence in the Caribbean, enabling customers to connect with the services of Bahamasair, the national flag carrier, from Florida to one of three destinations in the island nation.
Under a recent agreement, Emirates customers travelling to Miami or Orlando can now connect to Bahamasair flights bound for Nassau, Freeport, or San Salvador. This partnership allows travellers to book their entire itinerary with both airlines on a single ticket. Furthermore, Emirates customers will benefit from an extended baggage allowance when flying with Bahamasair to these three destinations.
Commenting on the new interline partnership, 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.”
Under the MoU, both carriers will explore ways to enhance cargo interline cooperation and potential partnerships in frequent flyer programs.
Bahamasair Managing Director, Tracy Cooper said: “This partnership significantly elevates Bahamasair’s global profile and opens access to invaluable expertise and new markets. By aligning with one of the world’s most respected airlines, we strengthen our capabilities and lay the groundwork for sustained international growth.”
Florida’s major gateways, Miami and Orlando, are among the 12 U.S. destinations served by the world’s largest international airline. Emirates operates daily flights to Miami using its Boeing 777 and offers five weekly services to Orlando, connecting travellers to its extensive network of over 140 destinations.
During the Arabian Travel Market, Emirates and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of The Bahamas signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaboratively promote tourism to the Caribbean nation. This partnership aims to enhance the country’s tourism and trade industries.
