The airline’ Bahamas expansion comes as the destination prepares for a Nov. 1 revamp of its travel protocols, which will remove the mandatory quarantine period and add new testing requirements

This month, American is operating more than 300 weekly flights to 23 destinations across the broader Caribbean region, the carrier said.
