Locair Passenger Service

Locair, Inc. operates under an FAA Approved Part 135 On-Demand/Air Taxi Certificate. We have a Fairchild Metroliner in a 9 seat passenger/combi configuration, two in a 19 seat configuration, and an all cargo Metro II. The 9 seat configuration affords our passengers the flexibility of bringing large items on board; such as golf clubs, pets, coolers, ALL their fishing gear, skis, and even the kitchen sink! That aircraft can accomodate up to 2,800 pounds of luggage or cargo. Whether you need to ship 4,400 pounds of marine parts, 18 of your closet friends, or a television production crew AND all their gear, only Locair can provide you with EVERY possible configuration to ensure a one-stop total air travel solution. All passenger flights operate with a crew of two professionally trained and friendly pilots.

Your Baggage / Luggage

Unlike traveling on other airlines to the Bahamas, when you fly on Locair you will never have to ask yourself, "Are my bags going to make it?" With our 19 seat aircraft configured with only 9 comfortable leather seats, we have almost 17 feet of cargo space with a capability of nearly 2,800 pounds. Customers are allowed 70 pounds of luggage per customer; that's more than any other carrier flying to the Islands. Excess baggage is only $1.00 USD per pound, with a minimum charge of $15. For large or oversized items a linear charge may be applied as well.

With our capacity for additional cargo space and weight, we are able to carry golf cart parts, Fido (in an FAA approved kennel), Garfield can come too (Cats must also be in an approved kennel), coolers full of frozen meats (we have restrictions on dry ice, please call), marine parts and so much more!


Animals

Warm blooded pets are allowed on any Locair flight when accompanied by the passenger. Pets in cabin are allowed as long as they fit in a small enclosed bag or kennel that can fit underneath the seat in front of you. Animals may be checked in the pressurized cargo hold for a fee of $1.00 per pound in an FAA approved leak-proof kennel. Wood crates are not accepted. Dogs over 75 pounds will not be accepted. Customers traveling international require the appropriate paperwork including: an updated certificate of health, a supply of water and food, and a limited liability release, as Locair is not responsible for death or injury to your pets.
