BermudAir launched service to Canada with its inaugural flight to Toronto Pearson last week (May 17) and will follow this week with Halifax service (May 25). The nation’s flagship airline will provide direct year-round service to YYZ three times a week – Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday – with a flight time of two and a half hours, and weekly YHZ flights on Saturdays.

“Flying to Canada marks the latest phase of our strategic expansion of service for Bermuda,” said Adam Scott, Founder and CEO of BermudAir, who is Canadian from Toronto.

“Launching flights to Toronto, along with service to Halifax, means that we now offer seven routes between Bermuda, Canada, and the USA. This extends year-round air service and capacity overall for residents and companies in Bermuda, while also providing convenient options to reach the island for inbound travellers.”

He added, “The market response we’re already seeing for this route indicates significant interest which is very encouraging. We’re now covering service gaps to the Canadian market that have been previously underserved… We’ve been operating for less than a year and I’m immensely proud of what our team has accomplished in that time with our network expansion. It’s a significant milestone for us and being able to connect Bermuda to Toronto in this way is also a personal and professional point of pride for me.”

BermudAir’s team celebrated the inaugural flight to Toronto with gifts and Canada-themed food and beverages for passengers on board, along with a gate celebration on arrival at YYZ.

Officials from YYZ, led by Chief Commercial Officer and Interim COO Khalil Lamrabet, were also on hand in the terminal to greet the BermudAir flight and passengers. Speeches and a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Adam Scott, Khalil Lamrabet and the Hon Isabelle Ramsay-Brackstone Canada Consul General to Bermuda also formed part of the celebration.

BermudAir is distributed in the GDS under the ‘W1’ Worldticket code with BermudAir flight numbers and validated on W2.
