American Airlines has kicked off its latest relaunch of Caribbean service, this time with resumed flights across The Bahamas, Grenada and Barbados. 

American Airlines just resumed flights from Miami to Freeport, North Eleuthera and George Town, Exuma in The Bahamas. 

Each of those flights is operating five times each week. 

The carrier also relaunched flights from Miami to Barbados and Grenada, both of which are also operating five times each week. 

On Oct. 10, American Airlines will launch once-weekly service from Miami to Marsh Harbour, Abaco and once-weekly service from Charlotte to Exuma. 

“As we continue with the steady resumption of our operations throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, our teams throughout the region have been focused on providing our customers with a safe and seamless travel experience,” said Jose Freig, American’s Managing Director of Operations for the Caribbean and Latin America. “Through efforts that include our Clean Commitment, and soon, preflight COVID-19 testing in some markets, we hope to restore confidence in the safety of air travel.”

The airline’ Bahamas expansion comes as the destination prepares for a Nov. 1 revamp of its travel protocols, which will remove the mandatory quarantine period and add new testing requirements. 

Also this week, American relaunched thrice-weekly flights from Miami to the island of Bermuda in the Atlantic. 

This month, American is operating more than 300 weekly flights to 23 destinations across the broader Caribbean region, the carrier said.

In a significant step for the recovery of the Abaco islands of The Bahamas, the Abaco Beach Resort is reopening on Nov. 1, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The relaunch of the resort comes in time for The Bahamas’ new travel protocols, which will waive the mandatory quarantine period and take effect on Nov. 1. 

The resort is coming back following a renovation and expansion to its 94 guest rooms, suites and residential units in the wake of Hurricane Dorian in 2019. 

That included the addition of a “rejuvenated, reimagined and clean look” to all of the property’s guest rooms. 

Boat Harbour, the resort’s marina, also underwent a complete rebuild of its 200 slips. 

Set in the historic tourist district of Marsh Harbour, the property has also added new dining experiences and new aquatic and outdoor activities. 

The Great Room is the property’s new casual gathering spot, while the Bistro is an indoor-outdoor eatery. 

The Pool Bar and Terrace at Marinaville is another al fresco eatery with views of the marina, helipad and nearby cays. 

It’s a significant development for Abaco, which was devastated by Dorian and has been working to rebuild over the last year and a half. 

The transformed resort will join other open properties including The Abaco Club on Winding Bay and the Sandpiper Inn, among others.

The Abaco Beach Resort first opened in Marsh Harbour in 1955.
