Halifax, NS – Travelers now have an easy escape to the warm, turquoise waters of the Bahamas, as Air Canada launches its new winter seasonal non-stop Halifax-Nassau service. Halifax International Airport Authority (HIAA) is pleased to welcome the new route to Air Canada’s network, offering a convenient connection to one of the Caribbean’s most iconic sun destinations.

“We are delighted to offer travelers a new opportunity to fly non-stop to the sun,” said Joyce Carter, President & CEO, HIAA. “Our strong partnership with Air Canada plays an important role in expanding travel options for our region, and this much-anticipated service is a welcome addition.”
Flights will operate once a week with a narrowbody aircraft, offering both Business and Economy cabins for passenger comfort and choice. With flight times between six and seven hours, passengers can reach the Bahamas’ capital with ease.

“We’re thrilled to launch non-stop service between Halifax and Nassau, connecting Atlantic Canada with one of the Caribbean’s most popular destinations,” said Alexandre Lefevre, Vice President of Network Planning at Air Canada. “This new route offers our customers more choice and convenience for winter getaways, while strengthening our commitment to providing direct access to exciting leisure destinations.”

With Nassau being a highly sought-after destination known for its beaches, resorts, and vibrant cultural experiences, this new direct link provides greater choice and convenience for travelers looking to head south over the winter months.

“The Bahamas continues to strengthen its position as a favorite destination for Canadians, and expanding airlift is essential to keeping pace with this growing demand,” said the Honorable I. Chester Cooper, Deputy Prime Minister of The Bahamas. “These new flights deepen our connection in Canada and make it even easier for visitors to enjoy the natural beauty, culture, and warm hospitality that define The Islands of The Bahamas.”

Nassau marks the fourth non-stop sun destination being offered by Air Canada at Halifax Stanfield this winter.
