The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation has announced that Aztec Airways will now offer new air service between Fort Lauderdale and Marsh Harbour, Abaco starting in June 2025.  

The airline will begin operating daily flights between its private terminal at Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Leonard M. Thompson International Airport (MHH) in Abaco.

Travelers departing from the private terminal will have free parking, bypass TSA lines and experience swift check-ins and boarding under 60 seconds.

The new route underscores the growing demand for accessible and efficient travel options within the region and the Ministry's commitment to improving connectivity and supporting local tourism. The additional flights will provide greater flexibility for business travel and leisure trips, making it easier to explore Abaco, the Boating Capital of The Bahamas.

"We are delighted by Aztec Airways' decision to expand their service, offering daily flights between Fort Lauderdale and Abaco," said the Hon. Chester Cooper, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation in a statement.

He added, “This direct, consistent service will not only streamline travel for our guests but also serves as a powerful catalyst for our local economy, fostering more tourism and investment opportunities in Abaco. We warmly welcome this enhanced partnership, which truly elevates the traveler experience.”

“Our latest campaign proudly declares, 'It's not one island, it's a lifetime of them,' a message designed to inspire visitors to fully embrace the unparalleled diversity of experiences The Bahamas offers," said Latia Duncombe, Director General of The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation.

In addition, she said, "Aztec Airways' expanded service will now enable even more travelers to discover the unique beauty of The Abacos, including its world-renowned fishing and exceptional boating opportunities, making it easier than ever to begin that lifetime of Bahamian adventures."
