NASSAU, The Bahamas – Delta Airlines makes it easier than ever to reach The Bahamas with the relaunch of its weekly nonstop service from Detroit to Nassau this winter. Beginning December 21, 2024 and running through April 12, 2025, this seasonal route connects Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) and Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS). As the only nonstop flight between these cities, this service provide travelers from the metro Detroit area and the Great Lakes region of the upper Midwest with a seamless connection to The Islands Of The Bahamas.
“This exciting development represents a pivotal moment in our strategy to drive significant growth in visitor arrivals from Detroit and the Great Lakes region. We are positioning ourselves to tap into a highly engaged and lucrative market, ensuring long-term success for our tourism sector,” said Chester Cooper, deputy prime minister and minister of tourism, investments and aviation.
