BermudAir began nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale to Belize City on Monday, giving South Florida travelers a direct link to a destination that has relied on a small group of U.S. gateways. The seasonal route runs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays through May 3, 2027. The carrier is also adding Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos to its Fort Lauderdale schedule.
What the new routes cover
The Belize flights are part of a larger buildout. In December, BermudAir plans to add nonstop service to Belize City from Boston, Raleigh-Durham, Orlando Sanford, and St. Pete-Clearwater. All of these flights will use Embraer E190 aircraft, a regional jet that seats fewer passengers than the larger narrowbody planes common on many long-haul leisure routes. That aircraft size may affect how many seats each route offers, so travelers should confirm seat availability at the time they plan a trip.
The airline built its reputation on premium leisure service to Bermuda, and it is now applying that model to Caribbean destinations. Company founder and CEO Adam Scott said the carrier is expanding its Caribbean network and that customers rank the airline with high satisfaction scores. Those satisfaction claims come from the company and have not been independently verified in the supplied information.
An airport change for Central Florida travelers
Advisors and travelers in the Orlando area should note a change in airports. Starting October 31, BermudAir moves its Central Florida operation from Orlando International Airport to Orlando Sanford International Airport, which lies north of the city. Anyone booking connections, ground transportation, or hotel stays in the Orlando area should check which airport a flight uses before finalizing plans. Sanford sits farther from many central Orlando neighborhoods and theme-park districts, so drive times and transfer costs may differ from what travelers expect at the main airport.
Why the route matters for Belize
Belize's tourism minister, Anthony Mahler, described the new lift as a connectivity gain. He said more direct access from Florida and the East Coast would let more travelers experience the country's cultural heritage, its barrier reef, and its ancient Maya sites. Belize has depended on a limited number of U.S. gateways, so added nonstop capacity could make the trip simpler for travelers who might otherwise connect through a hub. Whether the new service actually increases visitor numbers will depend on fares, seat supply, and demand, and the supplied information does not include projections for any of those.
