In the Airport

LPIA is more than just an airport—it is the first and last impression for millions of guests coming to The Bahamas.

Named after Sir Lynden Oscar Pindling, the first Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, the airport sits just west of the city of Nassau and a short drive from some of the finest resorts and hotels in the world. Services include scheduled and charter flights to the United States, Canada, Europe, and Latin America.

The Nassau Airport Development Company (NAD), a Bahamian company owned by The Government of The Bahamas and managed by Vantage Group, currently manages and operates the airport under a 30-year lease.

NAD is responsible for the majority of LPIA’s infrastructure including parking lots, terminals, runways and taxiways, and all revenue generating and commercial development projects. 

As a private company, NAD receives no government guarantees or grants and is a self-sustaining commercial entity based on international best practices.
