BermudAir is now officially in operation, offering tickets for flights departing from Bermuda to Boston, Fort Lauderdale, and New York. The airline’s service to two destinations will commence on August 31st, while flights to Florida are scheduled to begin on September 22nd.
A spokesperson said, “BermudAir makes history today, launching as Bermuda’s first flagship carrier to service year-round business and tourism travel with comfort, connectivity, and convenience. The airline, which has been entirely privately funded, officially confirmed that tickets go on sale today for its first three direct routes.
“Service will begin with flights between Bermuda L.F. Wade International Airport [BDA] and Boston Logan International Airport [BOS]; Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport [FLL]; and Westchester County Airport [HPN], conveniently located near New York City. Service connecting BDA to BOS and HPN commences on August 31, with service to FLL beginning on September 22.
“These new direct routes offer travellers from those cities and surrounding areas greater access to Bermuda, providing a premium travel option with average flight times of around two hours.
“The phased introduction will see BermudAir’s Embraer E175 aircraft begin service with a standard 88-seat configuration. Only 44 seats will be sold for each flight – all with 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]. BermudAir will provide a distinguished level of onboard service, offering travellers freshly prepared light meals and beverage selections from local partners on the island. The exceptional onboard experience and attentive service will be a signature BermudAir offering.
“Following delivery of highly customised and game-changing seating suites on November 1, 2023, a first for a short-haul airline, BermudAir will usher in a new era of business class air travel with the introduction of Aisle Class, a seating concept that eliminates the aisle vs. window seat dilemma.
“From November, BermudAir’s E175s will be configured with just 30 seats to feature unmatched privacy and ample workspace, with only two spacious seats across from each other in each row. Travellers will be able to take advantage of under-seat stowage for a carry-on and personal item, in-seat power, plus free Wi-Fi including Wi-Fi-powered entertainment and messaging. The Aisle Class cabin, designed without the need for overhead bins, offers a light and spacious ambiance, facilitating a convenient and quick boarding and deplaning experience.
“BermudAir is additionally committed to the local community through its dedication to sourcing services and partnerships within Bermuda, including the hiring of local crew, collaborating with Bermuda service providers for onboard food and beverage services, and sourcing local ingredients. The goal is to ensure the inflight experience reflects the island’s renowned hospitality with premium on-board menu offerings and attentive, friendly cabin crew.
“Tickets for flights between Bermuda L.F. Wade International Airport, Boston Logan International Airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Westchester County Airport are now available for purchase.
