There are a number of airports located on the islands of the
Bahamas, but only two handle longer flights coming from outside of
the Caribbean - Nassau International Airport on New Providence
Island and Freeport Airport on Grand Bahama.
Of these, the Nassau
airport, located just 10 miles from the capital city, receives the
bulk of North American traffic from major carriers, including daily
flights originating in Florida and flights coming in from New York
and Philadelphia several times weekly.
Air Canada offers direct service to the Nassau International
Airport once a week from both Toronto and Montreal. European
airlines do not fly into the Nassau airport directly, with most
European travelers making a quick change through Miami. Direct
flights from several cities in the southern US land at Freeport, but
the airport receives much of its incoming traffic from Nassau
airport connections.
A short island-hopper flight on Bahamasair is all that's necessary
to reach other Bahamian islands from the Nassau airport. From Nassau
International Airport there should be no problem reaching the outer
islands, which are all well equipped with landing strips to
accommodate small planes.
