Bahamian national carrier Bahamasair is launching new nonstop flights from Houston to the Bahamas.

The carrier will be launching the flights from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport to Nassau on Nov. 16.

The flights will operate twice weekly, operating on Mondays and Thursdays.

Bahamasair is operating the service on Boeing 737-500 aircraft.
