Overview
- BermudAir signed a firm order for 10 Airbus A220-300s at the Farnborough Airshow on July 22 to expand its fleet and schedule.
- The airline says the A220s will be configured with about 135 seats in a three-class layout and will add onboard Wi‑Fi that its current planes lack.
- BermudAir announced plans for the A220s to open multiple new routes, including six services to Turks and Caicos and five routes to Belize from several U.S. cities.
- The carrier reports options to grow the A220 fleet to as many as 20 by 2030 and has said deliveries are expected to begin in late 2027, a timing that third parties have not independently verified.
- Industry observers note the jump from a small used-Embraer fleet to new A220s raises questions about financing and operations, especially after prior disputes with Bermuda Airport over unpaid fees.
