Dann Lewis, assistant director of the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and chairman of Bahamian Air Carrier Holdings, Ltd., parent company of the airline said in London that the short term goal was to provide the islands with stable air services .

Dann H. Lewis confirmed that the carrier plans to acquire two or more One-Elevens, the second of which goes into service on August 1, and eventually resume more of the old Bahamas Airways services to Florida.
