The FAA will gather that information during May, give it to us by the end of June, send it on to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and certainly, by the middle of July, we should start to receive some of the overflight fees and the fees associated with the usage of our airspace.”

Nassau – The Bahamas government has signed an air navigation services agreement with the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) allowing for the monitoring of the country’s airspace for ten years.
Tourism and Aviation Minister Dionisio D’Aguilar said in addition, The Bahamas could collect up to US$350 million from over flight airlines over that period.
D’Aguilar said while the FAA has been monitoring this country’s airspace for some time, there has never been a formal agreement in place.
He said that the monitoring would be done at no cost to Nassau, with the authorities here paying an annual $80 000 fee to acquire data on airlines passing through The Bahamas’ airspace.
