It just got even easier to get to Bimini.

The tiny archipelago is the closest Bahamian destination to Miami, and now Bahamian national carrier Bahamasair is set to launch new flights from Miami to Bimini.

Beginning at the end of the month, Bahamasair will launch a total of four weekly flights to Bimini, Miami International Airport announced in a statement.

The Bimini Big Game Club, Bimini’s legendary hotel.

The service will operate on Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.

The flights will be Miami Airport’s seventh route in The Bahamas.

It’s another boost for an island that has been benefiting from regular service from both Miami and Fort Lauderdale on Tropic Ocean Airways, operated on seaplanes.

Miami-Bimini flights on Bahamasair should take around 30 minutes, operated on the company’s ATR 42 aircraft.
