BermudAir, which once provided premium jet service from South Florida to the North Atlantic enclave of Bermuda, announced Wednesday it intends to resume flights from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to the island known for its pink sand beaches, banks, insurance companies and 0% income taxes.<\/p>\n
The carrier said it will also add service to the Central American nation of Belize and to the ultra-luxury Turks and Caicos.<\/p>\n
As another part of its Florida moves, BermudAir said it is leaving Orlando International Aiprort and starting service with four destinations from Orlando-Sanford Airport, as well as from St. Petersburg\/Tampa. \u00a0<\/p>\n
From Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, the proposed schedule is:<\/p>\n
Bermuda: Weekly nonstop service on Sundays from Dec. 20 through March 14, 2027.
\nTurks and Caicos: Thrice-weekly service (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays), from Oct. 26 through May\u00a0 3, 2027.
\nBelize in Central America: Thrice-weekly service (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays), from Oct. 26 through May\u00a0 3, 2027.<\/p>\n
The Florida service is part of a broader route rollout by the airline, which bills itself as \u201cthe leading premium leisure carrier to Bermuda and the Caribbean.\u201d<\/p>\n
The airline operates a small fleet of Embraer E175 and E190 jetliners, smaller planes with no middle seats.<\/p>\n
Tickets for the new routes will go on sale Friday.<\/p>\n
Certified to fly by U.S. and Bermuda regulators in 2023, the airline has positioned itself as an upscale carrier between the East Coast and the British Overseas Territory, which lies 650 miles off the North Carolina coast. The airline flies out of L.F. Wade International Airport, which is near Hamilton, the territorial capital.<\/p>\n
From its Bermuda hub, the airline serves multiple U.S. East Coast cities, including New York\u2019s Westchester County Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, Boston Logan International Airport, Baltimore\/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, Raleigh-Durham International Airport, Orlando-Sanford, Fort Lauderdale\u2013Hollywood, and St. Petersburg\u2013Clearwater International Airport.<\/p>\n
Canadian service connects Bermuda with Toronto Pearson International Airport, Montr\u00e9al\u2013Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, and Halifax Stanfield International Airport.<\/p>\n
In the Caribbean, BermudAir serves Turks and Caicos, Grand Cayman, and Belize. It serves Anguilla as AnguillAir.<\/p>\n
The founder and CEO is Adam Scott, an entrepreneur and former pilot who is reported to have personally invested $50 million in the company. Scott was not available for an interview.<\/p>\n
The carrier started its Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood operations<\/a> in late 2023, but halted service in July 2025. BermudAir originally offered an ambitious schedule of six flights weekly to Bermuda, shrinking to one or two flights at the end.<\/p>\n Before the carrier\u2019s startup nearly three years ago, Scott told the South Florida Sun Sentinel that the carrier intended to target \u201canybody and everybody for whom time is of value.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a unique offering for a unique place and the demand is there,\u201d he said, adding that the carrier was targeting high-income individuals. While Bermuda traditionally has been promoted as a tourist haven, the island offers far more than that, Scott said. \u201cIt\u2019s paradise, but real business happens there.\u201d<\/p>\n New foreign routes<\/p>\n In a statement Wednesday, the airline said it is launching six new routes to Turks and Caicos from Newark, Boston, Baltimore-Washington, Raleigh-Durham, Fort Lauderdale and St. Petersburg\/Tampa.<\/p>\n Other U.S. cities with flights to Belize will include Boston, Raleigh-Durham, Orlando-Sanford, and St. Petersburg\/Tampa.<\/p>\n In addition, the airline is \u201creturning seasonal service\u201d to Anguilla from Newark, N.J., and Baltimore-Washington International, as well as new nonstop service from St. Petersburg\/Tampa.<\/p>\n Nonstop service also will be introduced from Boston to Guatemala City in Central America.<\/p>\n The additions come in the wake of some subtraction. The airline dropped service between Bermuda and New York\u2019s LaGuardia Airport in mid-April because of limited take-off and landing slots in New York.<\/p>\n Airport in transition<\/p>\n The Broward County Aviation Department had no immediate comment about BermudAir\u2019s plans at\u00a0 Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, now the scene of service additions by various carriers <\/a>filling voids left by the collapse of Spirit<\/a> Airlines in May.<\/p>\n Carriers including JetBlue Airways, Frontier Airlines and Allegiant Air, among others, have stepped in to fly routes once operated by Spirit to destinations in the U.S., Caribbean and Latin America.<\/p>\n Belize \u2014 one of the newly announced BermudAir destinations \u2014 was among those on Spirit\u2019s schedule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BermudAir, which once provided premium jet service from South Florida to the North Atlantic enclave of Bermuda, announced…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294536,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[506,558,28,29,249,251,250,686,114,266,115,109,1798],"class_list":["post-294535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-broward-county","tag-business","tag-florida","tag-florida-news","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news","tag-hollywood","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-social","tag-transportation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=294535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=294535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=294535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
