Getting to The Bahamas is getting easier for many Canadian travellers. The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation (BMOTIA) announced the expanded airlift on May 8, 2025, opening the doors for more visitors to the islands this summer and into the fall and winter.

“Canada remains a priority growth market for The Bahamas, and the expansion of the airlift by our longstanding partners reflects the sustained demand for our destination,” said Latia Duncombe, Director General, BMOTIA. “These enhanced routes from key Canadian cities strengthen our connectivity, improve accessibility, and support our broader strategy to drive year-round visitation across the islands.”
