BermudAir continues to see encouraging interest in travel between Bermuda and sister British Overseas Territory Anguilla, says the airline’s head.

Adam Scott, BermudAir founder and chief executive, said: “We remain focused on operating in a way that supports long-term, sustainable connectivity.”

He spoke after the Anguilla Government agreed to buy up 7,000 seats on BermudAir’s new AnguillAir routes.

Anguilla wants to improve tourism on the Caribbean island of around 19,000 people.

The first AnguillAir flights from Anguilla to Boston and Baltimore leave from the island’s new Clayton J Lloyd International Airport on December 19.

“BermudAir values the partnership we have developed with our Anguillan stakeholders as we continue to build our presence in the destination,” Mr Scott said.

He added that they are working closely with local markets to ensure their service aligns with demand and delivers a consistent, high-quality experience for their clients.

He was asked if there was any chance of the Bermuda Government following suit and buying up seats on BermudAir.

“In terms of broader government involvement in aviation, those are policy considerations for the respective authorities,” he said. “We remain committed to working constructively with all stakeholders where appropriate.”
