Aztec Airways Expands Bahamas Service with Inaugural Flight to Great Exuma (GGT)
Fort Lauderdale, FL – November 11, 2025
Following a year of steady growth and expansion across the Bahamian Out Islands, Aztec Airways proudly announces the inaugural flight of its newest route to Great Exuma (GGT). Departing from the airline’s private terminal at Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) on Sunday, November 16, 2025, this marks another exciting milestone in Aztec’s ongoing mission to strengthen air access between South Florida and the Bahamas.
This new service follows a period of focused development, as the airline continues to deepen its connections across the islands. Over the past several months, the Aztec Airways team has been working diligently— building partnerships with Exuma’s premier resorts, expanding local employment opportunities, and engaging directly with travelers to better understand their needs.
“Great Exuma is truly one of the crown jewels of the Bahamas,” said Stuart Hanley, Founder and CEO of Aztec Airways. “We are thrilled to begin service there and to continue doing what we do best—providing reliable, easy travel to the Out Islands.”
The launch comes at a pivotal moment for Bahamian tourism, as travelers increasingly seek dependable and personal service amid a shifting travel landscape. While the industry has experienced its share of turbulence in recent years, Aztec Airways remains committed to offering stability, consistency, and a traveler-first experience throughout the region.
As the airline enters the busy holiday travel season, this new route operating every Thursday and Sunday underscores its growing role in connecting communities, supporting island economies, and delivering seamless access to the beauty of the Bahamas— all year round.
