SEE UPDATE: BermudAir Comes To Westchester Next Week: $199 Fares On Sale Now

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — A new airline is planning to come to Westchester County Airport targeting a very specific market niche.

Bermudair, which expects to take to the skies in the coming months, is planning to fly from Bermuda to the Westchester airport six days a week, according to a report from FlightGlobal.

The airline that bills itself as a "boutique" carrier has sought permission to fly two Embraer 175s aircraft from the East coast to the island. Bremudair says each aircraft will be configured with 30 business-class seats.

In May, the carrier filed an application for a foreign air carrier permit with the US Department of Transportation (USDOT). The start-up plans to fly both scheduled and chartered flights between the U.S. and Bermuda.

Bermudair has asked regulators for permission to fly six days a week, including twice daily from Bermuda to Westchester County Airport. The start-up carrier has also applied to fly six days a week to both Boston and Fort Lauderdale, each once daily.

"Bermudair may further expand the proposed services and aircraft in the future," the carrier said in the application first obtained by FlightGlobal's Howard Hardee.

Based at LF Wade International airport, Bermudair said in the application that it plans to begin operating as soon as it is authorized by the governments of Bermuda and the U.S.
