Why would the Bahama Out Islands Promotion Board donate money to a foreign operator when local operators such as Trans Island Airways, Golden Wings, Odyssey Aviation and Bahama Hoppers just to name a few, have led the air lift effort from the onset? There is no need for Seaplane lift at this point in the Hurricane Relief effort as all runways are now open and were actually open within 3 days after the storm. Additionally seaplanes cannot carry as much weight as land planes. We need to be supporting local businesses that have sacrificed their normal revenue streams to assist in this effort.
Trans Island Airways, with the assistance of local doctors, Ports Int. and Lowe's Pharmacy delivered insulin and medical supplies to all the clinics in Long Island as a part of the emergency first response flights. There were Doctor's and nurses on the ground who personally received the medication. There were also multiple medical evacuations conducted by TIA.
