Bermudair applies for foreign air carrier permit with the US DOT

A startup boutique airline called Bermudair is all set to launch with plans to shuttle travellers between Bermuda island and US. Bermudair Limited recently filed a request for a foreign air carrier permit with the United States Department of Transportation. The airline plans to start shuttle service with two leased Embraer E175 with 30 premium seats. The company added an aircraft previously owned by Flybe. Interestingly, while operating for Flybe, this plane had 88 economy class seats, so capacity will be cut by nearly two-thirds. Bermudair is planning six days a week flight, twice daily from Bermuda to Westchester County
