The airport here in Nassau was affected by power outages !!! How is it the airport here servicing international flights DOES NOT have back up generators etc !!! I guess this country is doomed to be a "Turd World Country" forever if the politicians have any say in it but the clowns running the airport are looking for legal ways to charge travelers for breathing in that facility !!!

were the other airlines affected or just Bahamasair?

The other airlines had minor delays, but they were professional enough to have a supervisor and pilot come on the PA system and tell their passengers. They managed to get their flights out. BA Gate Agents were too busy talking on their cell phones and laughing........Poor treatment of passengers....Fly JetBlue!!!!

I think Bahamasair does take some unfair beating sometimes. According to Florida news three airports Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach we’re closed for several hours because of bad weather, as well as New Providence and Freeport. So all flights arriving or departing these airports are several hours late, not just Bahamasair. And today several hundred flights in the North East USA will be either delayed or cancelled due to snow, high winds and rain. And because Bahamasair only has a small fleet of aircraft it takes them awhile to get back on schedule once their flights are interrupted .

This holiday debacle proves that the domestic charter providers (Western, Southern, Sky etc.) need to step up and take over the Out Island routes and free up Bahamasair to bring tourists to the country ...... Bahamasair cannot provide reliable cost-effective Out Island service anymore ......... they are canceling and missing whole days to some islands thus causing increased need for vouchers and travelers' inconvenience & costs.

The Government will do better with an airlift subsidy system to private carriers ........ like the mailboats.

Fully agree. Government should make sure the family islands have reliable flights from a private company at reasonable prices and then focus Bahamasair on bringing in tourists. If its going to make a loss at least provide a reason for the loss.

Remember Tennyson Wells tried to block the smaller companies from getting licensed and operating. Many family islands rely heavily on them today. And despite the challenges many of them are reliable and growing.Some now offer state of the art jet service. It is true that Bahamasair needs to focus more on international routes and building its fleet. But if it was to abandon the Family Islands completely airfare to some islands would skyrocket because some routes are not profitable and since the national flag carrier is subsidized it has to make those runs. Not the time may come when government may have to subsidize smaller airlines to do these routes or Bahamasair can subcontract them out.

Fat ugly Bahamians predisposed to stamping their feet and feeling entitled to any and everything just need to be slapped and put in place. They need to listen and understand a situation rather than shouting and running their ugly mouths and showing their lack of education and empathy

Just think when Bahamas takes control of it's own airspace All airlines from Miami to Puerto Rico will enjoy the shutdown when the power goes out at Nassau Air Traffic Control.

Travellers should be fully aware that when a flight is cancelled due to bad weather or when a weather warning is issued, the report/decision is for the benefit of the airline crew and its passengers.I hear too much complaining when a flight is delayed due to weather.Get over it and wait.The life of the passengers and crew are at stake and dangerous to fly.I have seen too many accidents when planes takeoff and never make their final destination.

Bahamians want everything perfect like what they see on TV ....... SMT

But our country is not a perfect place ....... despite the Paradise moniker.

If there are delays and cancellations in America ........ expect it here.
