In November 2011, the government discussed plans to replace the Bahamasair Boeing 737-200s with more fuel efficient and cost effective aircraft. However, it was said that pre-owned 
[[Boeing 737 Classic|Boeing 737-500]]s may serve as a replacement for the then current jet fleet. In 2012, Bahamasair confirmed it would be taking delivery of two Boeing 737-500s with a 120-passenger all-economy class layout. The first aircraft was delivered on 30 March 2012 and put into service in April 2012. The second 737-500 was delivered on 21 June 2012. Bahamasair retired its last two Boeing 737-200s in September 2012 and received a third Boeing 737-500 in March 2014.

In May 2015, it was reported that the loss-making airline was in a phase of restructuring to gain profitability as advised by the government. This included new union agreements as well as a planned renewal of the ageing fleet.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ch-aviation.com/portal/news/37334-bahamasair-to-unveil-fleet-renewal-plan-in-coming-weeks|title=Bahamasair to unveil fleet renewal plan in coming weeks|website=ch-aviation|language=en-US|access-date=2016-06-16|archive-date=8 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160808235321/http://ch-aviation.com/portal/news/37334-bahamasair-to-unveil-fleet-renewal-plan-in-coming-weeks|url-status=live}}</ref> Shortly after, Bahamasair ordered five new [[ATR 42]] and [[ATR 72]] aircraft to replace all of its [[Bombardier Dash 8]]s.<ref name="atr order">[http://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/38123-bahamasair-selects-atr-as-dash-8-replacement "Bahamasair ATR order."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200710205943/https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/38123-bahamasair-selects-atr-as-dash-8-replacement |date=10 July 2020 }} ''ch-aviation.com - News 2015''.</ref>
