BermudAir increases service to Halifax Stanfield International Airport, citing strong demand

Bermuda’s national airline, BermudAir, is doubling down on its Halifax service, adding a second weekly flight between Bermuda and Halifax Stanfield International Airport. Starting July 10.

The airline will offer flights on both Wednesdays and Saturdays, in response to what the airline has called high demand since the route’s launch in May.

“The response to this route has been remarkable,” Adam Scott, Founder and CEO of BermudAir, said. “Our inaugural flights were basically full, and bookings have been solid ever since. After a ten-year absence of direct flights, this shows both the opportunity and demand on this route. We’re happy to help fill that previous service gap for Bermuda residents and visitors.”

The new Wednesday flight will depart Bermuda at 8:30 a.m. AST and arrive in Halifax at 10:55 a.m. The return flight will leave Halifax at 11:40 a.m. and touch down in Bermuda at 1:55 p.m.

The airline said the schedule mirrors the airline’s Saturday service and is designed for convenience and catering to business and leisure travellers.

“We’re ensuring that in addition to providing more frequency every week, the timings are convenient for travellers,” Scott added. “Feedback from our guests indicates that the combination of this timing and a short two-and-a-half-hour flight works well for both business and leisure travel.”

A second weekly non-stop flight will expand the opportunities for Halifax and Bermuda, the press release reads. The flights will also include over long weekends.

“It’s great to see the popularity of this new service, and we congratulate BermudAir on a successful launch in Halifax,” said Joyce Carter, President and CEO of Halifax International Airport Authority (HIAA) said.

BermudAir inaugurated its Canadian routes in May, with direct flights to Toronto beginning on May 17 and Halifax on May 25 with an aim to bolster travel connections and economic ties between the regions.
