Key points

Bradley flights end October 23 ahead of New York expansion.
Newark and LaGuardia start twice weekly the week of October 26.
Westchester service trims to three weekly as network shifts.
Seasonal Anguilla flights begin in December as AnguillaAir.

Impact

Who Is Affected: Travelers using Bradley International Airport (BDL) and New York-area flyers to Bermuda and, seasonally, Anguilla.
Key Dates: Bradley ends October 23, 2025; Newark begins October 26; LaGuardia begins October 29; Anguilla seasonal from mid-December.
Routes And Frequency: Bermuda to Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia (LGA) twice weekly; Westchester County (HPN) reduced to three weekly.
What Travelers Should Do: Rebook to EWR, LGA, or HPN; watch for Anguilla schedules and introductory promos; compare timings across New York airports.

BermudAir will end service at Bradley International Airport (BDL) on October 23, then pivot to a broader New York footprint with new twice-weekly flights to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA) beginning the week of October 26, 2025. The shift concentrates capacity where demand is strongest and sets up the carrier's seasonal push into Anguilla under the AnguillaAir brand in December. For travelers, the change adds more New York options to reach L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA) in about two hours.

BermudAir's New York expansion and Caribbean plan

The airline is branding its trio of New York-area gateways as a "New York Triangle," combining LaGuardia and Newark with Westchester County Airport (HPN). As Newark and LaGuardia start, Westchester trims from five to three weekly flights. BermudAir says New York remains Bermuda's largest source market, and spreading service across multiple airports helps navigate slot and capacity limits at LGA and EWR while maintaining convenience for travelers across the metro area.

Latest developments

BermudAir confirmed the New York additions begin the week of October 26, 2025, with Newark operating twice weekly and LaGuardia twice weekly. Bradley ends October 23. The airline also detailed a winter promotion and positioned Newark as a long-term gateway for future Caribbean growth, including seasonal AnguillAir flights linking Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport (AXA) with EWR, Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) from mid-December.

Analysis

For New England travelers, the Bradley exit compresses options, but the new New York pattern offers more schedule resilience. United already serves Bermuda from Newark, so BermudAir's EWR entry creates competitive overlap that can help on fares and timing. LaGuardia's twice-weekly plan provides a shorter trek for many Manhattan and Queens travelers, while HPN remains a high-convenience alternative for Westchester and Fairfield County.

BermudAir's seasonal move into Anguilla signals a strategy to smooth Bermuda's winter lull with Caribbean demand. Nonstop AXA links to the Northeast are scarce; these flights should appeal to leisure travelers who want to avoid connections in San Juan or Miami. Onboard, the carrier continues its island-forward service with complimentary dark 'n' stormies in economy, while its Embraer E170s and E190s offer dual-class cabins with two-by-two seating throughout the aircraft, avoiding middle seats.

Final thoughts

BermudAir's New York expansion, paired with Anguilla's seasonal launch, concentrates the network where travelers are most likely to fill seats through winter. As Bradley sunsets on October 23, flyers should shift plans to EWR, LGA, or HPN and watch for AnguillAir fares and schedules. For Bermuda-bound travelers, BermudAir's focus on New York, and a growing Caribbean foothold, could make the airline a compelling alternative to the legacy carriers.
