Fleet

Bahamasair (IATA: UP, ICAO: BHS) is the national airline of the Bahamas, founded in 1973. The carrier serves as a vital link for inter-island and regional Caribbean connectivity, with its main hub at Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau.

The airline operates a diversified fleet combining ATR turboprops (ATR 42 and ATR 72) for smaller regional routes and a Boeing 737 jet for longer-distance services. This mix reflects Bahamasair's role in connecting the geographically dispersed Bahamian islands while maintaining links to nearby Caribbean and North American destinations.

As the flag carrier, Bahamasair plays an important role in supporting tourism and inter-island travel across the archipelago. The airline's network focuses on regional reliability and frequency, making it an essential service for both leisure and business passengers in the Caribbean market.
