FREEPORT, GRAND BAHAMAS PILOT INFORMATION ACCOMMODATIONS NIGHTLIFE HISTORY DINING LINKS ACTIVITIES CURRENT WEATHER PHOTO ALBUM Freeport is a city that was planned similar to that of a medium sized U.S. urban setting. The city's grid map was developed by Wallace Groves and Sir Charles Hayward in the early 50's. Freeport sprung up from desolate forest to an urbanized city overnight. Freeport was selected as the oil depot for the islands. This decision has provided for significant windfall profits as Freeport continues to store and sell oil reserves to the U.S. Following Bahamas independence in 1973, the political strife between Prime Minister Pindling and the wealthy white foreign residents resulted in the exodus of the economic base. Not until the Free National Movement of 1992 did the Island begin to recover economically.       Downtown Freeport is dominated by the International Bazaar. Here, you'll find over 100 duty free shops with merchandise from around the globe.       Grand Bahama (Freeport) boasts (more) miles of pearly white beaches, and luxurious hotels than New Providence - Nassau Bahamas.       We look forward to providing your next private air charter flight to Freeport and other Caribbean Island destinations.
