BermudAir has resolved a payment dispute with Skyport, the carrier announced today.

The airline said that with the matter now resolved, it is focused on advancing its mission to enhance the island’s air service and strengthen connectivity, the economy and the community.

Adam Scott, the founder and chief executive of BermudAir, added: “This resolution allows us to move forward with clarity and focus.

“We appreciate the constructive dialogue with Skyport and look forward to working closely with them and our other strategic partners.

“Our priority remains building a strong, sustainable airline that delivers long-term benefits for Bermuda and its people.”

Skyport launched legal action against the carrier in July over allegations that it had fallen behind on its payments to the operator of LF Wade International Airport.

The Royal Gazette understands that the back payments added up to millions of dollars.

BermudAir did not provide any details today on how the issue was ironed out and directed all queries to Skyport.

A Skyport spokeswoman said: “We can confirm that a payment plan agreement has been reached.”

It was reported in July that the Bermudian-based airline was “substantially behind” on covering its airport charges.

“After unsuccessfully attempting to work with BermudAir for over a year, Skyport has been forced to initiate a legal process to recover the significant owing balance and ensure payment going forward,” a Skyport spokeswoman added then.

BermudAir confirmed at the time that it was dealing with “a number of commercial issues” with Skyport that it hoped to resolve “in the coming weeks”.

The airline today reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with Bermudian-based partners and highlighted that its mission was rooted in a simple promise “to put Bermudians first in its service, decisions and long-term vision”.

It said that the company remained dedicated to providing reliable service tailored to the island’s unique needs, with a strategy focused on strengthening Bermuda’s air links to support tourism, business and community travel.

BermudAir earlier marked two years of service since its launch in September 2023, offering residents additional travel options to and from North America.

Mr Scott said this month that the airline was focused on “ambitious” plans to expand and welcome more Bermudians to its growing staff.

He added said the company was proud of its team and expected to provide 50 new jobs to strengthen its headcount of 120.
