Flexjet has received authorization to offer helicopter flights from Florida to the Bahamas in time for the winter peak travel season, which begins in the next few weeks. The service follows proving flights Flexjet conducted in August for authorization for services to the Bahamas, with an eye on being able to roll the operations out by the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.

The service builds on Flexjet's helicopter operation, which the company formally established in 2022 with a fleet of Sikorsky S-76s. Flexjet said it formed the helicopter division to offer its fractional jet owners “first- and last-mile transport” but added that the helicopters have also been available for on-demand charter in the U.S. Northeast, Florida, and the UK.
