RDU Airport, NC – Passengers traveling out of Raleigh-Durham International Airport’s Terminal 2 this Friday afternoon will be greeted by the sounds of island music as RDU celebrates BahamasAir’s first flight to Grand Bahama Island.

BahamasAir is the national flag carrier of the Bahamas.

The live music, featuring the Tim Smith trio, will be featured in the Terminal 2 ticketing lobby.
