BermudAir adds nonstop RDU flights to Belize, Turks and Caicos

Wake County travelers got two more warm-weather options out of Raleigh-Durham International Airport, as BermudAir said it will add seasonal nonstop flights to Belize and Turks and Caicos beginning Dec. 20. For Triangle families planning winter break, spring break or a long weekend, the new service means one less connection through another hub and a faster path to two of the Caribbean region’s most sought-after destinations.

The airline said the routes will run through May 2, 2027, with flights twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays aboard Embraer 190 aircraft. Tickets went on sale Friday, June 5. The schedule places the service squarely in the peak leisure window for Central North Carolina travelers looking to leave during the holiday season or the coldest stretch of winter.

RDU said the addition of BermudAir will bring the airport to 89 nonstop domestic and international destinations served by 18 airlines. That matters in Wake County because RDU is more than a travel convenience: It is a regional economic asset that shapes tourism, business travel and how easily people can reach family, beaches and resort markets without routing through Atlanta, Charlotte or other connecting airports.

Tammie Hall-Roberts, chair of the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority Board, said the new routes give the region more opportunities for Caribbean getaways and reduce travel time. BermudAir founder and CEO Adam Scott said the airline is continuing to build its network as a premium leisure carrier, and the company said the expansion is intended to strengthen ties with the U.S. Southeast.

The Belize route will use Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport, the only international airport in Belize, located in Ladyville about 10 miles outside Belize City. The Turks and Caicos flight will land at Providenciales International Airport, which handles nearly all international traffic to the islands. For Triangle travelers, those are not just new dots on a route map; they are direct links to places that have long required a connection for most trips out of RDU.

The new service also broadens BermudAir’s footprint at RDU beyond Bermuda. The airline launched nonstop flights to Bermuda on April 11, 2025, with twice-weekly Monday and Friday service on an Embraer E175. This new chapter is more ambitious, extending RDU’s international reach farther into the Caribbean and Central America and reinforcing the airport’s role as a gateway for Wake County travelers who increasingly expect direct options instead of layovers.
