Emirates airline signs agreement to promote tourism in the Bahamas – The National

Emirates, the world's largest long-haul airline, signed a preliminary agreement with the Bahamas' Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Public Service to promote tourism to the island nation.

The agreement will see the Dubai-based carrier develop initiatives to promote the Bahamas as a tourism destination to customers across its global network, including developing enhanced connectivity to Nassau Lynden Pindling International Airport from US gateways through its codeshare and interline partners, Emirates said.

The agreement was signed in Dubai by Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed, chairman and chief executive of the Emirates Group, and Frederick Mitchell, the Bahamas' Minister of Foreign Affairs and Public Service. Witnessing the ceremony were Adnan Kazim, chief commercial officer of Emirates; Salem Obaidalla, senior vice president of commercial operations for the Americas at Emirates; and Tony Joudi, Ambassador of the Bahamas to the UAE.
