Edward Archer, General Manager of the Bahamas Tourist Office Atlanta said, “interest in the Islands of The Bahamas from the Georgia market has steadily increased over the past two years.

We are excited about the addition of these new air services into Abaco, Eleuthera and Exuma which will not only make The Bahamas even more accessible and appealing to our visitors, but will also fulfill a much-needed void.

Additionally, these services now provide us with endless growth and promotional opportunities to showcase The Bahamas’ unique multi-islands brand,” he said.

“To partner with a reputable and successful airline giant like Delta Airlines, which dominates the airline industry, particularly in this major feeder market, is truly fantastic, especially as we continue to reengage and reconnect with our travel trade partners on developing and providing sound partnerships that are mutually beneficial, effective and successful,” he said.

Delta Airlines, which uses Atlanta as its hub, is the world’s second largest airline carrier with 120.6 million passengers per year, and has a fleet of more than 700 aircrafts operating in 333 destinations, 54 countries and 6 continents.  The Atlanta airport is also the world’s busiest feeder gateway based on passenger traffic.
