BAHAMASAIR has dropped flights to Treasure Cay, Abaco due to nonfunctioning runway lights at the Marsh Harbour airport.

In a press statement yesterday, managing director Tracy Cooper explained the service adjustment would continue until further notice as the airline accommodates daytime flying.

The new flight service to Marsh Harbour from Nassau leaves at 4pm, and its flight from Abaco to the capital leaves at 4.55pm.

"Bahamasair further advises that due to this adjustment in schedule, there will be no service to Treasure Cay," the statement read.

"Ticketed passengers are asked to arrive at the airport ahead of flight time to ensure a smooth check-in process.

It added: "Bahamasair thanks the traveling public for making us the airline of choice, as we continue to take strides in connecting the islands of The Bahamas to the world."
