About Grand Bahama International Airport
Grand Bahama International Airport (GBIA) is an international airport in Freeport, The Bahamas. It was privately owned until the government of The Bahamas purchased it on April 29, 2021, for one Bahamian dollar. The government were able to secure the deal largely because of the devastation from Hurricane Dorian, which almost completely destroyed the airport in 2019. The Bahamian government spent approximately $1 million on staff severance costs as part of the deal.
