Regional carrier Silver Airways will resume flying to hurricane-ravaged Marsh Harbour and Freeport in the Bahamas on Dec. 19. The resumption comes more than three months after the blow delivered by Hurricane Dorian to the Abacos and Grand Bahama Island.
“We are thrilled to resume the necessary and much-needed service to two more islands in the Bahamas following Hurricane Dorian,” Silver Airways senior vice president of commercial and finance Pedro Motta said in a statement. “The best way we can continue supporting our fellow neighbors in the Bahamas is to travel to their many fine islands and patronize their hotels and resorts, restaurants and attractions.”
The carrier will fly five times per week between Fort Lauderdale and Marsh Harbour and seven times per week between Fort Lauderdale and Freeport.
Silver’s move appears to be a first among U.S. carriers. Data from FlightRadar24 shows that only Bahamas Air flew over the past two days between the U.S. and Freeport or Marsh Harbour. American plans to resume Marsh Harbour service from Miami on Feb. 13 and expects to return to Freeport on June 4.
Other U.S. carriers who used to serve those destinations were Delta and JetBlue. Delta said last month it won’t resume Freeport or Marsh Harbour service.
Silver said Monday that it also plans to resume flying to Treasure Cay in the Abacos in February, pending the airport’s reopening.
