Tradewind Aviation has expanded its scheduled service network across the Northeast, Bahamas, and Caribbean, adding new routes and extending year-round flying on several core corridors. The changes begin on Dec. 11 and include new South Florida–Bahamas service, as well as the launch of year-round flights between Westchester County Airport and Nantucket.
In the Bahamas, Tradewind is adding scheduled service from Fort Lauderdale to Marsh Harbour and North Eleuthera, as well as a new route from Stuart, Florida, to Nassau. These routes are available to book now for travel through June 7, 2026. The Fort Lauderdale–Marsh Harbour and Fort Lauderdale–North Eleuthera services operate Thursday through Monday, complementing Tradewind’s existing Stuart–Bahamas flights, which have now been extended to year-round operation.
Frequency varies by route: Marsh Harbour is served up to six times daily from Stuart and four times daily from Fort Lauderdale, while North Eleuthera operates twice daily from both South Florida gateways. Nassau sees four daily roundtrips from Stuart on the same Thursday-to-Monday schedule. One-way fares start at $229 plus tax to Nassau and $249 plus tax to Marsh Harbour and North Eleuthera, depending on route and season.
In the Northeast, Tradewind has officially launched year-round scheduled service between a private terminal at Westchester County Airport and Nantucket Memorial Airport. Historically a seasonal route, the Nantucket service now continues through the winter months, with four flights per day on Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays, and Mondays through mid-April. From mid-April through early December, the route operates at peak summer scale, with up to 25 daily departures.
The Nantucket operation is supported by Tradewind’s private lounge at Nantucket Memorial Airport, providing a dedicated pre-departure space separate from the main terminal. Flights on the route operate using the carrier’s Pilatus PC-12 aircraft, configured for scheduled service and departing from private aviation facilities rather than commercial terminals.

Beyond the Northeast and Bahamas, Tradewind continues to operate a mix of year-round and seasonal scheduled service across the Caribbean. Year-round flights to St. Barths remain in place from San Juan and Antigua, while seasonal service operates from San Juan to Anguilla, Tortola, and Virgin Gorda during the winter travel period. Additional limited-time summer service is planned for Virgin Gorda in July 2026.
“Our future growth is guided by our commitment to our guests and their evolving travel needs,” said David Zipkin, co-founder and chief commercial officer of Tradewind Aviation. “By expanding our schedule to those who have been flying to Nantucket with us for years, to welcoming new travelers, on new routes to the Bahamas and Caribbean, we are not only responding to strong demand but also shaping future travel experiences that are convenient, personalized, and truly guest-focused.”
All scheduled flights are operated by Tradewind’s fleet of Pilatus PC-12 aircraft. The newly announced routes and year-round extensions are now open for booking.
