TORONTO — BermudAir’s new flights connecting Toronto Pearson with L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA) took off May 17.
Bermuda’s flagship airline will provide direct service to Toronto three times a week, on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, with a flight time of two and a half hours.
“Flying to Canada marks the latest phase of our strategic expansion of service for Bermuda,” said Adam Scott, Founder and CEO of BermudAir. “Launching flights to Toronto today, along with service to Halifax next week, 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.”
Scott added: “Our team is excited to add this new service, which expands access for leisure and business travel to Bermuda with more direct flights and connectivity. 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. Our new routes provide links that will help grow tourism and business development between Bermuda and Canada.”
Scott is Canadian and he hails from Toronto. “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,” he said. “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 onboard, 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 Scott, 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.
