Bahamas’ Trans Island Airways takes first Dash 8-300

Trans Island Airways (GGT, Nassau Int’l) has added its first large turboprop in the form of DHC-8-300 C6-FUZ (msn 238), a 31.3-year-old aircraft formerly operated by Schreiner Airways and Widerøe and owned by Falko Regional Aircraft

Flightradar24 ADS-B data shows it was ferried from Maastricht, where it had been in storage since April 2020, via Stornoway, Reykjavik Keflavik, Narsarsuaq, Québec, Teterboro, and Jacksonville Int’l, FL to Fort Lauderdale Int’l over the course of January 13-15, 2022. Although the aircraft remains in an all-white livery, the ferry flight was operated under Trans Island Airways’ GGT code.

The Bahamian charter specialist operates five Cessna (single turboprop) C208 Grand Caravans (including an amphibian unit), a Cessna (twin piston) C402C, two AL!LRJ 60s, and a Cessna 560 Ultra.
