Anthony K Hamilton, president of the Bahamas Association of Air Transport Operators, told
Eyewitness News: “At the onset, I was estimating an 18-month experience. We were trying to peg it because we needed to plan.
“We are right in trying to evaluate the situation and navigate through this process. There were a lot of expenses incurred because we had some standard costs and revenue wasn’t coming. With whatever revenue we generate now, we’re trying to catch up.”
Hamilton added: “There has been a gradual improvement as far as the sector is concerned because ultimately it is about the traveling public and concerns about safety. We’re working through it and we’re hoping things will turn around because to be in this business is a very costly exercise.
