On October 13, 2014 at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Texas based Meregrass, Inc. announced plans to offer scheduled charter service to five Bahamas destinations from Fort Lauderdale and one from New York.
Jim Swieter, founder of IJet Charters, which is providing marketing and reservations for the scheduled charter, said the 30-passenger service will be unique to the market offering all premium class seating and high-speed travel.
“Pricing will be competitive,” said Swieter of the scheduled charter service.
“Our plans are to fly direct scheduled flights—April through August— from Fort Lauderdale to Marsh Harbour, Grand Bahama, Bimini, Georgetown and North Eleuthera. “We also are looking to schedule a non-stop from New York to Marsh Harbour during that same high season.”
Crewed by three, the Saab 2000 is a twin-engined high-speed aircraft with an average cruising speed of 425 mph with a maximum certified ceiling of 31,000 ft and a non-stop range of 1,300 statute miles. It seats 30 passengers in a cabin designed to accommodate 50. Consequently the seat pitch provides ample legroom.
