» Bahamasair History
Bahamasair grew tremendously since 1973, and has a stable domestic sector, and provides international service to Florida as well. In 1989, Bahamasair was able to boast about its adequate organizational structure, high degree of staff loyalty, good leadership and motivation, which enabled the company to maintain a positive image. Many flights were scheduled to destinations within the United States.
On December 1989, Bahamasair announced that they were changing its image with a new colour scheme for the planes, new uniforms that depicted the tranquil blue waters and pastels of the islands to bring about a sense of warmth and beauty of the Bahamas. This change was to coincide with the two new Boeing 727's that were brought in to foster a new attitude towards service.
In 1991, the fleet was converted to all DHC-8 series 300 aircraft. Five were purchased. The intended purpose was to enable the company to better serve the needs of the Bahamian people and to compete in tourism air traffic to and from the Bahamas.
The introduction of these fuel efficient and fast aircrafts was to phase out the Boeing 748's and provide more frequency, where needed. This switch to an all DH8 fleet resulted in Freeport not being serviced properly, and passengers on the international routes taking Delta to Florida.
