Junkanoo Air (JKN, Nassau International) has applied to the US Department of Transportation (DOT) for exemption authority allowing it to operate chartered cargo flights between the Bahamas and the United States at some point in the near future.

The Bahamian carrier says it plans to connect Bahamas with destinations across South Florida using a pair of Piper (twin piston) PA-31 Navajo freighters initially before acquiring Beechcraft 1900 aircraft within the next six to twelve months of operation.
