PRESS RELEASE
Private Pilots Who Fly to Bimini and Stay at Least Two Nights at the Resort May Receive Up to $75 Deducted from Their Bill
South Bimini, Bahamas — August 13, 2013 — The Bahamas Gateway Island of Bimini has long been a popular destination for private pilots, especially those departing from Florida. The flight typically takes less than an hour from most points in South Florida and offers spectacular views of the Florida Coast, the Everglades, the Gulf Stream, and Bimini’s iridescent blue waters and tropical island scenery.
Now, Bimini Sands Resort & Marina is making the trip even more inviting by offering a rebate of up to $75 to private pilots who fly into Bimini International Airport (BIM) and stay a minimum of two nights at the resort. This rebate is intended to help cover the new processing fee of $50 to $75 for private pilots entering the Bahamas, which went into effect on July 1, 2013. Upon presentation of a valid pilot’s license and proof of payment of the processing fee, Bimini Sands will deduct the fee from the pilot’s final resort bill.
“Most private pilots enjoyed paying zero fees upon landing at Bimini Airport until now,” said Bimini Sands Resort CEO Frank Cooney. “This rebate offer is our way of defraying the new fee and making a visit Bimini Sands and the Bimini Islands more affordable for those who want to fly here on their own.”
Located just 50 miles east of Miami on beautiful South Bimini, Bimini Sands Resort & Marina is a highly convenient Bahamas destination for pilots who want to escape to a tropical paradise and enjoy the laid-back pace of “island time”.
