Short-haul start-up BermudAir expanding in eastern USA

BermudAir has launched thrice-weekly round-trip flights to Baltimore, representing the first major expansion of the short-haul airline’s early network. The new “business-class short-haul” carrier kicked off its service between Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall airport and Bermuda’s LF Wade International airport on 18 March. The occasion also marked BermudAir’s 1,000th flight since launching passenger service in September. Baltimore is BermudAir’s fourth destination on the East Coast of the USA, along with Boston, Fort Lauderdale and Westchester County near New York City. The carrier also plans to start Embraer E175s operations to Orlando on 26 March. “This expansion demonstrates our dedication to meeting our passengers’ needs and strategically enhancing our service offerings, based on continual market feedback and evaluation,” says CE Adam Scott. “It’s a significant step.” <br/>Scott says Baltimore and Orlando have ”had connectivity to the island in the past, and so this is picking up where others left off”. “With our model and the right-size aircraft, it lends itself to greater frequency, and hopefully that can foster increased economic activity between both Bermuda and those destinations,” he says. <br/>
