Aztec Airways Is Launching Daily Service Between Fort Lauderdale and Abaco

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - June 30, 2025 - 1:50 pm

The Bahamas is getting even easier to reach. Aztec Airways has officially launched new nonstop air service between Fort Lauderdale and Marsh Harbour, Abaco, Caribbean Journal has learned.

The new route, which will operate daily, will connect travelers directly from Aztec Airways’ private terminal at Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL) to Leonard M. Thompson International Airport (MHH) in Abaco — a significant boost to airlift for one of The Bahamas’ most beloved Out Islands.

“We are delighted by Aztec Airways’ decision to expand their service, offering daily flights between Fort Lauderdale and Abaco,” said the I. Chester Cooper, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation for The Bahamas. “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.”

The new flights offer a major advantage for both leisure and business travelers: easy, efficient access to the Abacos — often called the Boating Capital of The Bahamas — with unmatched convenience. Passengers flying from Aztec’s private terminal can enjoy complimentary parking, bypass TSA lines, and board in less than 60 seconds.

“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 & Aviation. “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.”

The launch reflects growing demand for more accessible regional air travel — and a commitment by The Bahamas to ensure visitors can explore even more of its natural beauty, vibrant culture, and unique island experiences.

It keeps getting easier to reach Abaco, including new service on Tradewind Aviation out of Stuart.
