Makers Air Introduces New Flight Route From Fort Lauderdale to Stella Maris

The company operates out of Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport.

Makers Air, recognized as a pioneer in aviation with a remarkable 30-year legacy, recently launched a new scheduled flight that will provide new opportunities for travelers to reach the Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale.
