By Rubén Morales Iglesias: The Bahamas main airport, the Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) in Nassau, is to remain open on Wednesday as Tropical Storm Nicole is not expected to significantly threaten the island of New Providence, according to Caribbean Loop News.

“The latest information from the Bahamas Meteorological Department shows that Tropical Storm Nicole has shifted northward and away from New Providence,” the Nassau Airport Development Company said.

“As such, LPIA will continue operations on Wednesday, November 9, 2022 should there be no significant change in the current path of Tropical Storm Nicole. LPIA and its stakeholders continue to be advised by the Bahamas Meteorological Department and will provide continued updates on airport operations.

However, the Bahamas’ Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation (MOTIA) said 11 other airports spread out through the islands were to close their operations on Tuesday night and would remain closed until Thursday, 10 November. MOTIA said those airports would reopen when the Bahamas Department of Meteorology gave the ‘all clear’.

“Hurricane conditions and a dangerous storm surge are expected in portions of the northwestern Bahamas today, where a Hurricane Warning is in effect,” the United States National Hurricane Center said on Wednesday.
