Bahamasair’s three Boeing 737-500s are banned from U.S. airspace

Bahamasair failed to add required updated ADS-B avionics to its three Boeing 737-500s according to The Tribune reporting from the Bahamas.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had required all operators in American airspace to have the more precise equipment by the beginning of 2020.

Bahamasair had contracted with a supplier but the supplier failed to meet the deadline.
