Following a request by AOPA, the Bahamanian government has delayed indefinitely a new online customs clearance requirement that the association said presented "technical issues" for pilots. The new protocol was scheduled to go into effect on May 30, but AOPA president Mark Baker asked the Office of the Director-General for The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investment, and Aviation to delay the program at least until the end of March 2023.
