BermudAir has officially launched service from Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB), giving Central Florida travelers another option for flights to Bermuda. The airline’s first flight departed Sanford on Oct. 31, marking its move from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to SFB.
The inaugural aircraft received a water cannon salute from the airport’s Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting team before airport and airline representatives, local officials and community members gathered to celebrate the launch. The event included live steel drum music, commemorative gifts for passengers and remarks from airport and airline leadership.
The move also brings additional international service to Sanford. BermudAir plans to begin flights to Belize on Dec. 21, expanding its Central Florida destinations beyond Bermuda.
BermudAir Flight Schedule from Sanford
BermudAir will initially operate weekly flights between Orlando Sanford International Airport and Bermuda, with plans to increase the service to twice weekly beginning Oct. 31, according to the airline’s announcement.
Belize service is scheduled to begin Dec. 21, initially with weekly flights before increasing to twice-weekly operations. BermudAir says it will be the only airline offering nonstop service to Belize from Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and St. Petersburg/Tampa.

What Travelers Can Expect Onboard
BermudAir describes its service as a boutique island travel experience. Its two-class cabin features no middle seats, additional legroom, complimentary premium snacks and beverages, and an emphasis on hospitality.
