NASSAU, Bahamas -- As of March next year, all direct service between London and Nassau, Bahamas, on Virgin Atlantic Airways will be suspended.
That’s the word from the island’s Ministry of Tourism. "The suspension follows a drop in available hotel room capacity, in particular all-inclusive rate room availability, due primarily to property closures associated with the multi-million dollar Bahamar development in Cable Beach," the ministry disclosed in a statement. "The all-inclusive accommodation option is typically better suited to the budgets of long-stay visitors, to whom Virgin's service is most appealing, with once weekly flights obliging stays of at least seven nights."
Virgin Atlantic Airways has operated weekly flights since June 28, 2005 between London's Gatwick Airport and the Lynden Pindling International Airport.
