Bermuda's new startup BermudAir received its first aircraft, an Embraer E175 last week, as it prepares to launch flights between Bermuda and the East Coast US. BermudAir plans to offer all-business class flights with 44 seats, providing a premium service and larger-than-average space onboard.
The airline will initially fly to New York's Westchester Airport, Boston International, and Fort Lauderdale International.
Tickets are available on sale today onwards on BermudAir’s first three direct routes between Bermuda L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) starting August 31, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL); and Westchester County Airport (HPN), starting September 22.
According to BermudAir, the services will offer passengers more access to Bermuda with premium travel options and an average of two hours flight time.
Excited to launch BermudAir Adam Scott, founder and chief executive, BermudAir said: “We are excited to launch BermudAir as Bermuda’sfirst carrier, maintaining our commitment to start filling seasonal service gaps and establish frequency of service to and from the island this fall.
“Our mission to elevate the travel experience for everyone and provide well-timed, traveller-centric, stress-free flights on these new routes is just the beginning. Establishing this year-round service is a first step in our journey to redefine the travel experience and we look forward to rolling out our phased introduction of BermudAir’s Aisle Class,” Scott added.
BermudAir’s Embraer E175 aircraft will begin service with a standard 88-seat configuration with 44 seats available on sale.
“The seats will offer both window and aisle access and plenty of space for carry-on bags ensuring a comfortable and spacious in-flight experience for travellers. All flights include free Wi-Fi and entertainment, and at least one complimentary checked bag or more, depending on fare,” the airline said in a statement.
“The exceptional onboard experience and attentive service will be a signature BermudAir offering,’ the statement added.
Tracy Berkeley, chief executive, Bermuda Tourism Authority said: “With the launch of a new airline in Bermuda, there’s a sense of anticipation and opportunity in the air. The increased air capacity aims to enhance the island’s connectivity and aligns with the National Tourism Plan’s year-round objective. By providing year-round flights, BermudAir offers new opportunities for us on the US East Coast, paving the way for potential partnerships and market growth.”
