Bermuda Welcomes First Air Travellers From The U.S. Since March


BERMUDA, July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Thanks to the island's successful response to the COVID-19 crisis, Bermuda is open and welcoming air visitors back as of July 1, 2020. The island, located two hours from most major U.S. East Coast airports, currently has no active coronavirus cases. On Monday, July 6, the first commercial flight from the U.S. to Bermuda since March touched down at L.F. Wade International Airport, allowing visitors to safely and responsibly enjoy the island's natural beauty and genuine hospitality. 

"At a time when international travel is limited for many Americans, the island is a beautiful, close and comfortable option for those in need of an unforgettable escape," said Victoria Isley, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer for the Bermuda Tourism Authority.  "Bermuda offers guests an accessible, safe destination with wide open spaces and pink sand beaches, clean ocean breezes and brilliant turquoise waters, plus meaningful cultural connections and fresh island fare."

Delta Airlines resumed service to Bermuda via Atlanta on July 6. JetBlue will restart service from JFK as well as Boston August 1. Air Canada was the first international airline to touch down with commercial traffic on July 2 from Toronto, and WestJet will add in service to the island beginning August 6 from Toronto as well. British Airways is set to resume service from London starting July 17, and the UK Government included Bermuda on its list of places their residents can visit this summer and be exempt from quarantine upon arrival back to England. As always, visitors and travel professionals are encouraged to check with airlines directly for the latest updates to service.

A variety of pristine, spacious resorts and clean, comfortable cottages are open to host guests beginning in July such as Rosewood Bermuda, The Loren Hotel, Royal Palms, Grape Bay Cottages and more. Beautiful views, plenty of room, safe and healthy service await. For a full list of properties already open and other anticipated opening dates, visit the travel alert page on gotobermuda.com.

To protect Bermuda's community and travellers alike, the Government of Bermuda has introduced a set of robust screening protocols that must be observed.
