Bahamas Air Holdings Ltd., or Bahamasair, is the national airline of the Bahamas. The airline's fleet of eleven aircraft consists of several Dash 8 turboprops and a couple of mid-range Boeing 737 jets. Based at Nassau International Airport (NAS), its scheduled route network connects twenty destinations, including service to Florida. About 1.5 million passengers fly the airline every year. While not known for its profitability, Bahamasair appears vitally important to a country that is heavily dependent on tourism.
