A Legacy of Private Aviation
In August 1942, Nassau Airport was used to train reconnaissance crews during WWII under the No. 111 Coastal Operational Training Unit RAF (the Royal Air Force of Britain). In December of that year, the airport was named Windsor Field (for the Duke of Windsor) and became an RAF station. It was used to transport US-built fighter and bomber aircraft to the European and North African war theaters. These included Boeing B-17 and Consolidated B-24 bombers and the Curtiss P-40 fighters. The base also served as a base for patrol bombers guarding against German U-boats. Consolidated Liberators and North American Mitchell bombers were used for this purpose. Upon the culmination of the war, the Unit returned to the UK in 1945 and was disbanded. The RAF as a whole disbanded from Windsor in June 1946, and the airfield was returned to civilian operations use. At the time, there was a closer airport to Nassau, Oakes Field. It had been recommended that Oakes remain the regular long-range airport at the Regional Caribbean Conference of the International Civil Aviation Organization, which was held in Washington in September 1946. And so it was, until the 1st of November, 1957, at which point Nassau International Airport (aka Windsor Field) was brought into full operation. On the 6th of July, 2006, the airport was renamed Lynden Pindling International Airport in honor of the first Prime Minister of the Bahamas, who is recognized as the Father of the Nation, having brought about complete independence from the UK in 1973. By 2006 it had become clear that updates to the airport were needed (and the airport did reach capacity in 2011 with over 3 million passengers). As such, Nassau Airport Development Company reached a ten-year agreement with YVR Airport Services Ltd. (the commercial arm of the Vancouver Airport Authority) to manage, operate, and redevelop the airport. This brought the airport up to international standards: it included the construction of a US Departures Terminal, which was 247,000 square feet (and cost $198.1 million), the complete renovation of the old US terminal (which would serve as the new US Arrivals Terminal at the cost of $127.9 million), and the construction of a new domestic arrivals and departures terminal (112,000 square feet) and a new International Departure Terminal in place of the existing International Arrivals Hall (at the cost of $83.5 million). These projects were fully completed in October 2013 and resulted in 585,000 square feet of terminal space and the ability to accommodate 50% more passengers (it should be able to process up to 5.2 million passengers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about flying private to Nassau.
Yes, private jet flights offer flexible departure times. Operators generally provide a window of 30 minutes to two hours, but this can be extended upon request, provided it doesn't conflict with crew duty limitations or subsequent flight schedules. It's best to confirm this flexibility with your aviation advisor when booking.
Generally, each passenger on a light or midsize private jet can bring one piece of luggage, with each piece weighing up to 23 kilograms (about 50 lbs). However, larger jets, which are often used for longer journeys, typically allow passengers to bring more than one piece of luggage per person to accommodate extended stays.
Yes, all passengers on international private jet flights must go through customs. Certain countries require customs clearance at designated ports of entry. For instance, flights heading to Bora Bora must stop in Tahiti for customs. Similarly, when entering the U.S. from Mexico, passengers must clear customs at the first port of entry.
Crew members must have a minimum of 10 hours of rest within a 24-hour period. Their duty day cannot exceed 14 hours, followed by a rest period at their hotel. Typically, flight operators schedule around 12 hours of rest to accommodate travel time to and from the hotel, ensuring the crew has adequate rest.
A fuel stop usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. To expedite the process, the flight operator or pilots often notify the fueling service in advance, so a fuel truck is ready upon the jet's arrival. For smaller aircraft, refueling might take as little as 30 minutes.
Yes, on most private jets, luggage can be accessed during the flight because the luggage and passenger areas are on the same level. This contrasts with commercial flights where luggage is stored separately in the cargo hold. On larger private jets, luggage is often stored in an area behind the lavatory, making it accessible during the flight.
Private jet passengers can enjoy a variety of catering options, including local cuisine. While standard snacks and beverages are typically available, meals that do not require cooking can be ordered in advance. Any hot food must be pre-cooked and can only be warmed on board.
Yes, pets are welcome on most private jet flights. It's important to inform the operator in advance, as there may be specific requirements or a small cleaning fee. Ensure that all necessary documentation and vaccination records for your pet are current. For domestic U.S. travel, dogs and cats must be at least eight weeks old and weaned.
