BermudAir
BermudAir

The first airline established in Bermuda and its flag carrier, founded in May 2023, certificated by the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority and starting flights that August. It is headquartered in Hamilton and uses L.F. Wade International Airport as its hub, flying two-class Embraer E175 and E190 aircraft on scheduled services between Bermuda and the US East Coast and eastern Canada, carrying cargo on published points. In September 2026 the airline announced the lease of one E190F freighter converted from an E190, becoming the second E-Jet freighter operator in the world and the first in the Americas. No direct freighter service between mainland China and Bermuda is publicly listed, so Chinese cargo usually transits a North American hub before entering the network.

Airline overview

Company history and business focus

BermudAir (IATA code 2T, ICAO code BMA, callsign GOSLING) was registered in Bermuda in May 2023, received its air operator certificate from the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority on 26 July that year, obtained US Department of Transportation authority on 7 August and launched scheduled flights between Bermuda and the US East Coast with an E175 fleet on 31 August. It is the first airline established in Bermuda, headquartered in Hamilton, with L.F. Wade International Airport as its hub, and is described publicly as the country's flag carrier. The cabin is two-class with no middle seats.

The fleet is built on the Embraer E-Jet platform. Public sources list 2 E175 and 2 E190 in service, configured as 10 business and 60 economy seats and 8 business and 88 economy seats respectively. In 2026 the airline signed an order for 10 Airbus A220-300 aircraft, with deliveries planned from 2027. On cargo, it offers freight service at published points including Boston, Baltimore, Toronto, Orlando, Halifax and Montreal, with published acceptance limits of 1,000 kg per air waybill and 45 kg per piece. On 16 September 2026 the airline, Embraer and the lessor Regional One announced the lease of one E190F freighter, making it the second E-Jet freighter operator in the world and the first in the Americas; entry into service awaits regulatory approval.

On the China side, no public source lists scheduled cargo flights to mainland China or Hong Kong, or a directly owned office in China. No direct freighter service between mainland China and Bermuda is publicly listed. The usual path is a domestic Chinese airport to a North American or European hub, then local capacity to Bermuda, with the airline and local ground agents handling connections and delivery within Bermuda and toward the Caribbean.

BermudAir cargo products and capacity structure

Belly cargo on scheduled flights

Cargo is offered at published points including Boston, Baltimore, Toronto, Orlando, Halifax and Montreal, with a published acceptance limit of 1,000 kg per shipment and 45 kg per piece.

E190F freighter capacity

Combined upper and lower hold volume above 100 cubic meters and maximum structural payload of 13.5 tonnes, with nine ULD positions, a main deck cargo door and a 9G rigid barrier.

Express and e-commerce cargo

Aimed at express parcels, e-commerce shipments and time-critical cargo. The type sits between large cargo turboprops and conventional narrowbody freighters and suits regional sectors where volume does not justify a narrowbody freighter.

Island node connections

With Bermuda as a North Atlantic node, consolidated cargo arriving on the US East Coast is distributed to Caribbean island points, with the airline and local ground agents handling the connection.

Capacity structure: on scheduled flights cargo uses the belly hold of the same aircraft and shares weight and balance limits with passengers, and the per-shipment and per-piece limits are published. The E190F has a separate main deck and does not share payload with passengers, but entry into service is pending regulatory approval and no public information yet covers the sectors or frequency it will fly. For Chinese cargo destined to Bermuda, confirm the onward flight and available payload beyond Bermuda at the booking stage so nothing is stranded on arrival.

Fleet: the E-series passenger fleet and the freighter addition

BermudAir's fleet is built on the Embraer E-series platform. The two E175s and two E190s in service have two-class layouts, 2+2 in business class and 2+2 in economy with no middle seat, and cargo uses the belly hold of the same flight. In September 2026 the airline announced the lease of one E190F freighter converted from a passenger E190, becoming the second operator of the type worldwide and the first in the Americas. Maximum structural payload is 13.5 tonnes, combined upper and lower hold volume exceeds 100 cubic meters, and there are nine ULD positions with a main deck cargo door and a 9G rigid barrier. The airline has also ordered 10 A220-300 aircraft from Airbus, with deliveries from 2027, which will expand the fleet further.

The table is compiled from public sources. Payload and hold volume are published reference values for the type and do not equal the cargo that can be accepted on a given flight. Actual acceptable volume depends on the passenger load, fuel, sector length and weight and balance limits, and is subject to the carrier's calculation at the time.

Bermuda gateway and hub airport

The airline hubs at L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA / TXKF). It is Bermuda's only international airport, on St. David's Island in St. George's Parish about 11 km from the capital Hamilton, with a 2,958 meter runway, one cargo terminal and one passenger terminal, and US Customs and Border Protection pre-clearance for travellers to the United States.

Published network coverage

Published points cover Bermuda to Boston, Baltimore, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and White Plains on the US East Coast; Toronto, Montreal and Halifax in eastern Canada; and Anguilla, Providenciales, Grand Cayman, Belize City and Guatemala City in the Caribbean and Central America.

Point attributes are compiled from public sources. Seasonal points open and close with the season's flight programme, and no fixed timetable is published for points without listed operating dates; schedules are subject to carrier confirmation on the day of booking.

Freight reach from China

The airline does not operate China routes, so cargo into Bermuda moves in two stages: the first leg from a Chinese origin airport via a North American hub to Bermuda, and the second connecting Bermuda with the Caribbean on the airline and local ground agents. The value sits in the final stage, moving a consolidated inbound lot from Bermuda to island markets in a short time.

  • Mainland China to BermudaNo direct freighter service is publicly listed; cargo must transit a third country.
  • Transit via a North American hubUS gateways such as Newark, Miami, New York, Boston and Atlanta connect to Bermuda; Canadian gateways include Toronto, Montreal and Halifax
  • Transit via a European hubLondon Heathrow is Bermuda's only nonstop point into Europe
  • Bermuda to the US East Coast and CanadaOperated by the airline's scheduled flights; published cargo points include Boston, Baltimore, Toronto, Orlando, Halifax and Montreal
  • Bermuda to the CaribbeanAnguilla, Providenciales, Grand Cayman, Belize City and Guatemala City, some operated seasonally

Operational note:For traffic to the United States and Europe we match capacity on the leading carrier on each route. Cargo destined to Bermuda is best arranged under a single air waybill for the whole journey, with the mainline carrier and the final carrier billed separately; we quote as one price and handle declaration and handover.

Booking path through a freight forwarder

The airline has no published dedicated office in China, so Chinese shippers cannot book directly with the carrier at home. A local Chinese agent can handle the mainline booking and export declaration and coordinate the final flights with a Bermuda agent. Having a forwarder familiar with Caribbean and North Atlantic flows coordinate brings value in the following areas.

  • Routing plan: choose the hub routing through North America according to origin and transit time target, comparing total duration and the number of transhipments.
  • End-to-end documentationArrange the mainline leg under one air waybill and issue separate documents for the final flight, with the cargo handover point between the two legs clearly defined.
  • Payload calculation: the final leg is capped at 45 kg per piece and 1,000 kg per shipment, so pieces, weight and dimensions must be checked shipment by shipment to avoid cargo that cannot move onward on arrival.
  • Documentation compliance: prepare commercial invoice, packing list and origin documents to Chinese export and Bermudian import requirements to reduce delays at clearance.
  • Information needed for booking: commodity, piece count, per-piece and total weight and dimensions, origin and destination airports, required date, and whether the cargo contains batteries or is regulated.

Advantages of choosing BermudAir cargo, and where it fits

Hub connections with the local carrier

The airline was the first carrier established in Bermuda and hubs at the island's only international airport, so its network meets inbound and outbound island demand directly and the final stage has a short handling chain.

Acceptance rules are published and clear

Published limits are 1,000 kg per shipment and 45 kg per piece, clear rules that let acceptable volume and piece splitting be calculated at the quotation stage.

Dedicated capacity from the freighter

The E190F has a separate main deck with over 100 cubic meters of hold volume and 13.5 tonnes maximum structural payload, no longer sharing weight and balance limits with passengers, which suits express, e-commerce and time-critical cargo.

Commonality across the fleet platform

Passenger and freighter aircraft share the E-series platform, giving common ground in crew training, engineering and spare parts support, which helps contain the operating cost of the added freighter.

Regional reach from the island network

Published points cover the US East Coast, eastern Canada and several Caribbean island markets, so Bermuda can serve as an intermediate node for regional distribution.

Scale and traffic direction

The fleet is small and there is only one freighter, whose entry into service is still pending regulatory approvalLimited capacity, so replacement capacity is limited; Bermuda's cargo flows are mainly inbound and outbound origin traffic is relatively thin, so return capacity must be confirmed shipment by shipment.

Where it fits: the airline's strength is the final-stage connection in Bermuda, island distribution in the Caribbean and fast movement of frequent small shipments. For consolidated cargo destined to Bermuda we normally use another carrier for the mainline from China to a North American or European hub, with the airline and local agents covering the sector beyond Bermuda, pricing each sector separately.

Operating information and notes

Bermuda's single international gateway and cargo facilities

L.F. Wade International Airport is Bermuda's only international airport, with one cargo terminal and one passenger terminal and a 2,958 meter runway able to handle aircraft up to the Boeing 747. Public sources indicate the airport is upgrading its cargo facilities, including a larger customs inspection area and new cold storage for perishables. All inbound cargo must clear and be transferred at this airport.

Standard routings for China-origin cargo into Bermuda

No direct cargo flights between mainland China and Bermuda are publicly listed. Public sources show that scheduled freighter capacity into Bermuda is mainly one Boeing 757 freighter from Newark in the United States, five flights a week, operated for an international express company and a local courier; belly capacity on passenger flights comes from several North American, Canadian and British carriers. Cargo from China usually moves first to a North American or European hub, then connects onto those services into Bermuda.

Import and export structure of an island market

Public statistics show Bermuda air imports of about 2.795 million kg and air exports of about 605,000 kg in 2024, with imports about 4.6 times exports. About ninety percent of local consumer goods are imported and outbound origin traffic is thin, so capacity planning should focus on the inbound direction and confirm return capacity separately.

Documents and handover

After the booking is confirmed, submit air waybill consignee details, commercial invoice and packing list as the carrier requires. Clearance and pickup at Bermuda can be handled by a local agent; if cargo continues to Caribbean points it can be arranged under the same document set. Our proposal itemizes origin declaration, mainline air freight, transit handling and destination clearance and delivery.

Cargo notes: booking points for BermudAir

Airline country and operating model

BermudAir is Bermuda's flag carrier, founded in May 2023 and starting flights in August that year, and the first airline established in Bermuda. Its IATA code is 2T, ICAO code BMA, call sign GOSLING, and it hubs at L.F. Wade International Airport, carrying belly cargo on all scheduled points.

Airports served in China

Public sources do not list scheduled cargo flights by the airline in mainland China or Hong Kong, nor a dedicated office in China. No nonstop cargo flights between mainland China and Bermuda are published; Chinese shippers can contact its local China agent or ask us to arrange the introduction.

Schedules and aircraft on China routes

The airline does not operate China routes, so no schedule or aircraft data exists for a China route. If cargo originating in China needs to continue toward the Caribbean after reaching Bermuda, the airline can carry it on the relevant sector with an E175 or E190; schedules change with the season's flight programme and are subject to carrier confirmation on the day of booking.

Active fleet and available capacity

Public sources list two E175s and two E190s in service, all in two-class passenger configuration with cargo in the belly of the same flight; one leased E190F freighter has been announced, with entry into service pending regulatory approval; the airline has also ordered 10 A220-300s, with deliveries planned from 2027.

Cargo categories accepted

Public sources describe the product as aimed at express parcels, e-commerce shipments and time-critical cargo, with published limits of 1,000 kg per shipment and 45 kg per piece. For regulated commodities, cargo needing a separate temperature zone and lots above the limits, full details must be provided at the booking stage so the carrier can review and confirm acceptance.

Connections beyond Bermuda toward the Caribbean

The published network covers Anguilla, Providenciales, Grand Cayman, Belize City and Guatemala City, some operated seasonally. Chinese cargo ultimately destined to those points can connect to the onward sector in Bermuda, with status following the carrier's latest publication.
