PRIVATE AVIATION
CLEAR SKIES AHEAD

Visitors to The Bahamas arrive by various means, but
there’s no disputing that the most scenic route is by air.
There is simply no better vantage point from which to soak
in the stunning beauty of The Bahamas. No easier way to
discover the warmth of our people. No greater freedom
than island-hopping across miles of crystal-clear water.

A S H O R T H O P
Leaving the Florida east coast, first landfalls occur
at Grand Bahama Island (60 NM) or Bimini (50 NM).
S TAY O N C O U R S E
Overlapping VOR/DME of NOB signals provide course
guidance from the U.S. coast and throughout the
most frequently travelled routes in The Bahamas.
V I S I B I L I T Y & C O N D I T I O N S
While conditions are typically VFR, GPS is the most
reliable and accurate method of navigation, and
GPS will get you to even the most remote islands.
F U E L U P
In the islands, you are never more than
20 minutes flying time from fuel.
I S L A N D H O P P I N G
You don’t need to file a flight plan when
flying between islands. Just be prepared to
show your Cruising Permit on request.

Pilots must complete three Inward Declaration and
Cruising Permit forms (C7A). You’ll keep one stamped
copy with you; if you’re travelling to multiple islands, you
may be asked for it by Customs at different airports. Each
person also will complete a Bahamas Immigration Card.
Expect landing fees at many of the government airports,
as well as ramp fees at the FBOs in Nassau and Freeport.
A $29 departure tax applies to all passengers, as well
as the pilot and co-pilot. Landing fees are calculated
by aircraft weight, ranging from $4 to $75.
