BermudAir Adds Flights To Montreal, Providence, Richmond

In August 2023, we saw the launch of BermudAir, a new airline offering service to and from Bermuda (BDA). The airline has expanded quite nicely since then, and has just announced plans to add yet another three routes. I find this all to be quite fascinating…

BermudAir adds new United States & Canada routes

BermudAir is expanding its service this spring, with flights to three new airports — Montreal (YUL), Providence (PVD), and Richmond (RIC).

As of May 22, 2025, the airline will add 2x weekly flights from Bermuda to Providence, operating with the following schedule on Thursdays and Sundays:

2T501 Bermuda to Providence departing 3:30PM arriving 4:30PM
2T502 Providence to Bermuda departing 5:35PM arriving 8:35PM

The 745-mile flight is blocked at 2hr westbound and 2hr eastbound.

Then as of June 7, 2025, the airline will add 2x weekly flights from Bermuda to Richmond, operating with the following schedule on Wednesdays and Saturdays:

2T825 Bermuda to Richmond departing 3:55PM arriving 5:30PM
2T826 Richmond to Bermuda departing 6:35PM arriving 9:50PM

The 799-mile flight is blocked at 2hr35min westbound and 2hr15min eastbound.

Then as of June 12, 2025, the airline will add 2x weekly flights from Bermuda to Montreal, operating with the following schedule on Thursdays and Sundays:

2T413 Bermuda to Montreal departing 8:00AM arriving 9:55AM
2T414 Montreal to Bermuda departing 10:55AM arriving 2:30PM

The 1,026-mile flight is blocked at 2hr55min westbound and 2hr35min eastbound.

BermudAir’s fleet currently consists of two Embraer E175s, and soon the airline will be getting two Embraer E190s, which will help make this growth possible. Tickets for these flights are already on sale.

Here’s how BermudAir Founder & CEO Adam Scott describes these additions:

“Expanding our network with these new routes underscores our commitment to strengthening Bermuda’s global connectivity. By adding direct service to these key cities, we’re not only making travel more accessible and convenient, but we’re also positioning BermudAir to serve our customers with even greater convenience, reliability and flexibility.” 

For context on the rest of BermudAir’s network, at launch, the airline operated flights to Boston (BOS), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), and Westchester (HPN). Then the airline added flights to Baltimore (BWI) and Orlando (MCO), followed by adding service to Halifax (YHZ) and Toronto (YYZ). Then just recently, the airline announced plans to add more routes as of this upcoming spring, to Charleston (CHS), Hartford (BDL), and Raleigh (RDU).

I’m so fascinating by what’s going on at BermudAir

BermudAir launched operations roughly 18 months ago, and has expanded at an impressive pace. With this latest announcement, the airline will serve 13 destinations from Bermuda.

I’ve gotta be honest, I’m just not sure what to make of the airline. Like, every single industry person I’ve spoken to about this airline has been sort of confused, as it’s a quirky business model. Yes, the airline probably has a great cost structure, since it picked up used regional jets.

But we’re also talking about operating niche, point-to-point routes, in markets where the tourist demand is largely seasonal. Yes, there’s some business model, but the limited frequencies are a challenge there, since the schedule seems largely centered around those going on vacation.

What’s so interesting is that virtually every airline startup has some growing pains, and will at least cancel some service that doesn’t work out. In the case of BermudAir, the airline hasn’t canceled a single route, and has basically maintained a similar strategy since launch.

There is one major aspect of the carrier’s business model that shifted, though. The initial plan was for BermudAir to be an all-business class carrier, with an innovative 1-1 seat design throughout the cabin.

However, since then, the airline has decided to ditch the all-business class concept, and is instead also offering economy. Not only that, but there is no firm timeline for when the airline will actually offer the business class product it has been promising all along, which is being blamed on delays with suppliers.

So the carrier’s planes are in a 2-2 configuration, and business class passengers simply get economy seats with an empty seat next to them, plus better service.

What’s going on here? Is the airline actually profitable, and everything is going great? Is the airline still losing money, but keeps getting more investors, and is trying to show growth, and a path to profitability?

Kudos to the airline for its unique business model, and for operating so consistently…

Bottom line

BermudAir is expanding once again, with plans to launch flights to Montreal, Providence, and Richmond. This is actually the second round of expansion for early 2025, as the airline will also add flights to Charleston, Hartford, and Raleigh. This comes at a time when BermudAir is expanding its fleet, as the airline will operate two Embraer E190s, in addition to its two existing Embraer E175s.

What do you make of BermudAir’s latest expansion, and the carrier’s overall prospects?
