BermudAir is to launch a direct service to Grand Cayman this week plus non-stop flights to the Turks & Caicos Islands.

The flights will boost the company’s winter schedule and begin with twice-weekly options in a bid to bolster broader offerings for the season, better balancing outbound travel with inbound demand.

“Expanding service in the Caribbean region is a natural next step for BermudAir,” said Adam Scott, the founder and chief executive of BermudAir.

“Cayman and Turks & Caicos are great markets for both business and leisure, and the new routes strengthen Bermuda’s position as a connected, forward-looking island.

“Just as importantly, it gives Bermudians more choice in how and where they travel during the winter season.”

The move will expand travel options for Bermudians during quieter winter months while opening the door to new visitors discovering the island.

BermudAir said the service will also enhance regional connectivity, giving residents greater flexibility to travel and supporting increased year-round tourism, while maintaining popular routes to destinations including Boston, Toronto, Halifax and key US gateways.

Flights will go on sale on Friday.

The service to Grand Cayman will operate via Turks & Caicos.

It means that BermudAir’s Orlando service will relocate from Orlando International Airport to Orlando Sanford International Airport for the winter season, operating twice-weekly, and will also see the return of service to Fort Lauderdale once a week.

Sanford International Airport is approximately 30 to 40 minutes from Orlando.

BermudAir insisted that the changes support improved operational efficiency, enabling stronger network connectivity, including enhanced access to Belize, Turks & Caicos, Guatemala City, plus an expanded returning seasonal service to Anguilla.

The airline launched in 2023 and, in the past financial year, was said to have contributed an estimated $111 million in direct economic output and $149 million in total impact, while supporting more than 1,100 jobs across the island’s economy.
