HAMILTON, Bermuda — The first Bermuda-based airline with year-round service launched this week with a direct flight route to Boston’s Logan Airport.

Tickets are now on sale for BermudaAir’s first three direct routes between Bermuda L.F. Wade International Airport and Boston, as well as Florida’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and New York’s Westchester County Airport, according to the airline.

Service to Boston and New York officials begins on Aug. 31, while service to Florida commences on Sept. 22.

These new direct services offer travelers greater access to Bermuda, providing a premium travel option with average flight times of around two hours, BermudAir Founder and CEO Adam Scott noted.

“We are excited to launch BermudAir as Bermuda’s first carrier, maintaining our commitment to start filling seasonal service gaps and establish frequency of service to and from the island this fall,” Scott said. “Our mission to elevate the travel experience for everyone and provide well-timed, traveler-centric, stress-free flights on these new routes is just the beginning. Establishing this year-round service is the first step in our journey to redefine the travel experience and we look forward to rolling out our phased introduction of BermudAir’s Aisle Class.”

The phased introduction will see BermudAir’s Embraer E175 aircraft begin service with a standard 88-seat configuration and 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 travelers, the airline said.

All flights include free Wi-Fi and entertainment, at least one complimentary checked bag, freshly prepared light meals, and beverage selections from local partners on the island.

Beginning in November, the airline says it will also offer business class air travel with the introduction of “Aisle Class,” a seating concept that eliminates the aisle vs. window seat dilemma. The Aisle Class cabin, designed with just 30 seats and without the need for overhead bins, offers a light and spacious ambiance, facilitating a convenient and quick boarding and deplaning experience.
