Baltimore Gains First Direct Winter Flights to Anguilla, Twice Weekly Service

BermudAir announced on December 18, 2025 that it has rolled out AnguillAir and will operate twice weekly nonstop flights between Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and Anguilla starting in mid to late December 2025. The carrier positioned the service as a seasonal winter route, using Embraer regional jets and marketing onboard amenities aimed at leisure travelers.

The launch creates a new direct Caribbean connection out of BWI for the winter season, a notable development for Baltimore area travelers who previously needed connecting flights to reach Anguilla. BermudAir frames the route as part of a broader Caribbean expansion, signaling increased point to point international options from regional US airports during peak winter demand.

For Baltimore the immediate practical effects are straightforward. Twice weekly nonstop service reduces travel time for residents and visitors heading to Anguilla and could lift winter passenger volumes at BWI. Airports generate revenue not only from tickets but from parking, concession sales and ground transportation. Even a modest seasonal increase in departures and arrivals can translate to higher local spending in hospitality and ground services.

Market implications extend to the regional airline landscape. Operating Embraer regional jets allows BermudAir to serve a thin international leisure market with lower capacity aircraft while maintaining frequency. Seasonal scheduling also reflects demand patterns that favor Caribbean leisure travel in the winter months, which can support higher fares and yield for carriers compared with off season periods.

Policy considerations for city and state officials include coordinating with the airport authority and tourism partners to capture economic benefits. A new nonstop route can be promoted to attract direct spending on hotels, restaurants and tours. Workforce planning for hospitality and transportation services during the winter season could help local residents access jobs tied to increased travel flows.

Longer term, this addition underscores a trend of smaller carriers expanding niche international services from secondary hubs. For Baltimore residents, the immediate takeaway is a new, convenient option to reach Anguilla this winter and a potential boost to local travel related industries as seasonal demand arrives at BWI.
