The airline said the new twice-weekly link strengthens ties with the U.S. Southeast
BermudAir has boosted connectivity between the island and the southeastern United States, with the addition of a new route.
The locally based airline made its inaugural flight to Raleigh-Durham International Airport in North Carolina on Friday.
“We’re thrilled to launch this direct connection between Bermuda and the Raleigh-Durham region, offering travellers a comfortable journey between our two dynamic destinations,” said Adam Scott, Founder & CEO of BermudAir. “This new route strengthens ties for leisure, business, and education, and we look forward to welcoming more visitors to experience the beauty and warmth of Bermuda.”
Flights will operate on Mondays and Fridays aboard a 70-seat Embraer E175 jet, and they will take approximately two hours and five minutes.
Michael Landguth, President and CEO of the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority, added, “Thousands of travellers fly between RDU and Bermuda each year on vacation, for business opportunities, and to pursue an education at our colleges and universities. We expect that number to grow now that residents of both Triangle regions have a quick, convenient way to travel on BermudAir.”
The airline noted, “With Bermuda located roughly 650 miles off the North Carolina coast, this new connection makes the island even more accessible to U.S. travellers while providing Bermudians with a gateway to the southeastern United States.”
