What does private aviation look like in the Bahamas
While plenty of commercial flights to the Bahamas happen daily, private aviation remains a sought-after mode of travel. Most private planes, large and small, can make the hop from the mainland in Florida to the islands easily. With 29 islands and 661 cays making up the Bahamas, private planes, jets, and seaplanes are always a viable travel option.
Discover Private Flying with CSI Aviation in The Bahamas
We are so thankful for the opportunity to serve Bahamas Petroleum Company in this project, and honored to be considered part of the team. 🤝✈️
CSI Aviation Inc. has a fleet of Beechcraft 1900s stationed a short flight away in West Palm Beach, Florida. We make short flights to the Bahamas daily for employee groups as well as families and tourism groups. Our aircraft can hold up to 197 passengers.
We have the capabilities to charter a private flight from to the Bahamas, within the Bahamas, and from the Bahamas. Our 40+ years of experience guarantees that we are experts in coordinating your private flight. CSI Aviation can also organize all international travel forms, COVID-19 tests, and information you need for simplified traveling.
The Bahamas defines tropical vacation. Tourist groups seeking to travel together to, within, and from the Bahamas can find an affordable option with our Beechcraft 1900s. Less expensive than a private jet, our private planes offer an easy getaway. As part of our services, we make sure your group has the right paperwork, documents, and health screenings to get in and out of the country. If you’re looking for a way to travel safely and stay COVID-19-free with your bubble, flying private with CSI Aviation may be the ideal option for you.
Reconstructing residential, resort, and business properties in the wake of recent hurricanes has been a large need in the Bahamas. Flying the proper tools and construction crews trained to operate specific equipment is a priority and our aircraft offer adaptable space for both construction crews and their cargo, which can otherwise be difficult to transport via air. We have capacity for up to 1000lbs. of cargo with smaller passenger numbers.
Many oil and gas companies operate out of the Bahamas. Most of these companies fly out their employees periodically to work for set days or weeks at a time. Our aircraft are ideal for making the jump from the US mainland and within the Bahamas, especially for groups of 5-17. For workers in the oil and gas industry, our aircraft also include adequate storage space for any cumbersome equipment—the kind that’s difficult to keep tabs on through commercial airline security.
CSI Aviation Inc. can offer convenient charter options for multiple industries, including cargo, fishing, and recreational hunting. Seats can be removed for small but substantial cargo loads stowed in the plane from the back. Fishing gear and equipment is easily stored for the duration of the flight, and hunting guns and equipment don’t require the same security checks compared to flying commercial.
