Bahamas Airports Public-Private Partnership
The Bahamas Airports Public-Private Partnership is a project designed to develop and operate a portfolio of nine airports across The Bahamas. The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation seeks to identify experienced and qualified private sector operator-developers to manage the operations, maintenance and future long-term development of the airport portfolio under a concessions agreement. To ensure this project aligns with the Ministry’s organisational framework, the airports have been parceled into three bundles.
