Actually, the issue was that the lights are inoperative at Marsh Harbour Airport, resulting in Bahamasair having to eliminate the TCB portion of the nas-mhh-tcb-nas flight as there is currently insufficient daylight time to conduct all legs. The lights therefore need to be repaired. The Bahamas Government is responsible. There are other airlines and private pilots that are also negatively affected by the lack of runway lights. Capiche?
"The Ministry of Transport and Aviation announced on Feb 28, 2017 the signing of a 4.5-year agreement between Airport Authority and Vantage Bahamas. The company will provide technical expertise to the Leonard M. Thompson International Airport in Marsh Harbour, Abaco. The agreement takes effect March 1, 2017.
Vantage Bahamas is the local subsidiary of Vantage Airport Group, based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The company is currently under an executive management agreement with the Lynden Pindling International Airport since 2007.
Under the contract with Leonard M. Thompson International Airport, technical teams from Nassau Airport Development Company (NAD) will be deployed on short and long-term assignments to Marsh Harbour to share best practices and provide guidance to the airport’s management team on the ground in Abaco. **Airport Authority will continue to manage day-to-day operations at Leonard M. Thompson International Airport including maintenance of the 51,000 sq. ft. terminal facility and runway, manage parking facilities and all commercial operations at the airport."**
Don't know whether these Vantage people are still involved or not. That would have been (or is) another typical waste of taxpayer money. As Clamshell says, many of these reports are murky at best.

It's past time for this stupid marijuana law to be changed. Numbers houses fine, farming not! What the police going to do with the pot plants???? Share them up and put in their own gardens?
Just repair the damn lights. What about other airlines and what about emergency flights? What about a functioning government? Does Abaco not pay more than its share of taxes? Can those who allowed this situation to occur not be terminated from the tax payers' burden and replaced with persons who understand the meaning of efficiency and responsibilty? Who IS responsible for this latest act of ineptitude Mr. Prime Minister?

And exactly who owns the airport and who is in charge of aviation in The Bahamas? If I am a buffoon, your species cannot be printed in this forum.
