Services Manager noted that the company has two terminals and a modular trailer complete with administrative
offices to quarter all staff in one place working to meet clients’ needs.
In spite of the challenges endured, the GBIA continues to render the best in service and, keenly aware that more
must be done to affect the changes necessary for greater resilience and redemption.
Chanan Frith-Jones, GBIA General Manager revealed, “For the past four years, restorative work has been ongoing
to our facilities and we are happy to report that both domestic and international flights have returned to a
greater level of normalcy. Of course, during this time, the global economy has now been negatively impacted by
the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought the world to a standstill for almost two years! The aviation sector as well
as many other sectors have taken a major economic blow and has now been left to wonder, where do we go from
here? “In response to this question, the government of the Bahamas has admitted to seeing to the redevelopment
of GBIA and its goal, which is primarily to operate within the definition of ‘facilitation’ by ensuring the efficient
management of the flow of passengers and baggage through the airport facilities.”
Furthermore, Frith-Jones noted both the government of the Bahamas and GBIA are keen to ensure that services
are delivered in a healthy, safe and secure environment with a view of meeting and/or exceeding the needs and
expectations of its customers.
Both Frith-Jones and Huyler encouraged people to make contact with the GBIA at 1-242-350-4233 or 1-242-3504200 for more information as a number of initiatives are scheduled for implementation in the coming weeks.
Additionally, the GBIA will be taking advantage of social media platforms to promote the company’s offerings and
now that operations are more fortified, an online landing page will be launched in the not-too-distant future for
customer convenience.
