Our Bahamas United Air History

The Bahamas has always been the destination. From the early days of flying beach explorers and surfers to today’s on-demand private charter operations, our mission remains the same: safe, reliable, direct flights that reduce friction and get you to the islands faster.

1980s

The draw of crystal-clear water, sugar sand beaches, and island culture created growing demand for reliable private charter access from Florida to The Bahamas.

1987

Air Flight, Inc. obtained licensing and approval with the DOT and FAA as a Part 135 air carrier, authorizing private airplane charter services throughout the U.S. and Caribbean—with a strong focus on The Bahamas.

Bahamas destinations

Over the years, travelers have chartered with us to destinations across The Bahamas including major gateways and out islands—supporting vacations, family travel, resort transfers, and island-hopping.

FLL → FXE (2020)

Operations were originally centered at Fort Lauderdale International (FLL) and later moved to Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) in 2020—often a more convenient, private-travel-friendly departure experience.

Today

Bahamas Charter Flights continues the legacy with an experienced team, long-standing relationships across the islands, and a Bahamas-first mindset—ready for everything from relaxed getaways to time-sensitive Bahamas logistics.
