Travelers from the United States and Canada will have more options to reach Anguilla this winter as BermudAir's AnguillAir brand expands its schedule with a new route from Toronto and additional flights from several U.S. cities.

Beginning in mid-December, the carrier will increase service from key North American markets, including Boston, Newark, Baltimore-Washington and Tampa/St. Petersburg, while introducing weekly Saturday service from Toronto Pearson International Airport via Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands.

The new Toronto route will begin Dec. 19 and operate through May 1, 2027. Southbound flights will depart Toronto at 10:30 a.m. and arrive in Anguilla at 6:05 p.m., while return flights will arrive back in Toronto at 3 p.m.

The expanded U.S. schedule includes twice-weekly nonstop flights from Boston on Mondays and Fridays, twice-weekly nonstop service from Newark on Mondays and Fridays, plus a Saturday direct flight via Providenciales. Baltimore-Washington will receive weekly nonstop Monday service and an additional Thursday direct flight, while Tampa/St. Petersburg will gain twice-weekly service via Providenciales on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Flights will operate on Embraer E190 aircraft configured with two classes and no middle seats.

Officials said the expanded airlift will improve access to the island as it continues to attract visitors seeking its beaches, culinary offerings and luxury accommodations.

"This expansion by BermudAir strengthens regional and international air connectivity, enhances access to Anguilla, and reinforces ties across the British Overseas Territories," said Infrastructure Minister José Vanterpool. "We welcome BermudAir's continued investment in expanding its network and look forward to the benefits this will bring to Anguilla and its people."

Tourism Minister Cardigan Connor said the additional flights will make it easier for travelers from Anguilla's primary source markets to visit the island.

"The significant increase in flights this winter from North America means more visitors from our most important markets can easily experience why Anguilla remains one of the Caribbean's premier destinations," Connor said. "Enhanced air service translates directly into more opportunities for our tourism sector, supporting local businesses while offering travelers greater choice and convenience to enjoy our unmatched beaches, culinary scene and authentic island charm."

BermudAir Founder and CEO Adam Scott said the airline is continuing to expand its Caribbean network following the success of AnguillAir's inaugural season.

"We're thrilled to continue expanding our Caribbean network as the premium leisure carrier from North America," Scott said. "Our customers are ranking us with industry-leading satisfaction scores. Together with Bermuda, we now connect U.S. travelers to some of the region's most exceptional and sought-after island destinations."

The expanded schedule comes as Anguilla continues to receive strong recognition from readers of Travel + Leisure, which has named the island the No. 1 destination in the Caribbean, Bermuda and the Bahamas five times in recent years and inducted it into its Hall of Fame after a decade of excellence in the publication's World's Best Awards.
