Bahamas to See Boost in Flights from Canada This Summer and Fall

As Canadians seek alternative travel destinations, new and expanded airlift options to the Bahamas are on tap this summer and fall.

Latia Duncombe, Director General of the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism stated: “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. 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.”

Here are some of the highlights:

• Air Canada is introducing new, nonstop flights from Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) and Halifax-Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) to Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) this winter, with the addition of weekly flights starting December 5, 2025 through April 10, 2026. 

• Commencing June 20 through August 29, Air Canada will resume weekly nonstop flights from Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) to Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS). Operating every Friday, the Airbus A220 seasonal service will provide additional service to the excitement of Nassau and Paradise Island.

• Air Canada will continue to provide service from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) six to seven times per week. 

• Air Canada Vacations’ flights from YYZ to Georgetown, Exuma (GGT) are scheduled to resume November 2025 through April 2026.

• Sunwing Vacations has announced that its seasonal flights from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to Grand Bahama International Airport (FPO) will be extended to year-round weekly service as of this summer.

• Sunwing will also continue to operate their nonstop flights from Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport Airport (YUL) to Grand Bahama International Airport (FPO) on a year round basis, with weekly Saturday flights.

• In addition to the Montreal/Nassau route this summer, Canadians can also opt for the nonstop charter offered by Club Med (every Tuesday through 29 July), to experience their all-inclusive Columbus Isle Resort on San Salvador.

“We look forward to welcoming even more visitors from eastern Canada, to experience the warmth of our people, beauty, and culture of our islands this summer, next fall, and beyond,” said Hon. I. Chester Cooper, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation.
