Bimini will be American’s seventh destination in the Bahamas. This winter, American will operate more than 30 peak daily flights to the Bahamas, the most of any U.S. airline. In addition to being the only carrier connecting Bimini with the U.S. nonstop, American is also the only U.S. airline flying to Governor’s Harbour (GHB) and Freeport (FPO). In response to continued traveler interest in the Bahamas, American has also added additional frequencies during the December holiday season to Marsh Harbour (MHH) and North Eleuthera (ELH).
