With new and expanded airlift options from multiple gateways across Canada, The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism says getting to the Caribbean islands will be easier than ever for Canadians this summer and fall.
Latia Duncombe, director general of tourism, says, “Canada remains a priority growth market for The Bahamas, and the expansion of the airlift by our longstanding partners reflects the sustained demand for our destination. These enhanced routes from key Canadian cities strengthen our connectivity, improve accessibility, and support our broader strategy to drive year-round visitation across the islands.”
Here’s a look at the growing list of options:
- Air Canada is introducing new, nonstop flights from Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) and Halifax-Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) to Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) this winter, with the addition of weekly flights starting Friday, 5 Dec. 2025 through 10 Apr. 2026.
- Commencing on June 20 through Aug. Aug. 29, Air Canada will resume weekly nonstop flights from Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) to Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS). Operating every Friday, the Airbus A220seasonal service will provide additional fast and convenient service to the excitement of Nassau and Paradise Island.
- Air Canada will continue to provide service from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) six to seven times per week.
- Meanwhile, Air Canada Vacations’ flights from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to Georgetown, Exuma (GGT) is also scheduled to resume in November through April.

- In addition to the Montreal/Nassau route this summer, Canadians can also opt for the nonstop charter offered by Club Med (every Tuesday through July 29), to experience the all-inclusive Columbus Isle Resort on San Salvador.
Chester Cooper, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation says the robust roster of flights “reflects the eagerness of Canadians to travel to The Bahamas. We look forward to welcoming even more visitors from eastern Canada, to experience the warmth of our people, beauty, and culture of our islands this summer, next fall, and beyond.”
