BermudAir has scheduled seasonal nonstop flights from Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) to Providenciales in Turks and Caicos and to Belize City this winter. Caribbean Journal reported the routes on October 15, 2026. Both run twice weekly and use Embraer 190 aircraft, according to the report.

Raleigh-Durham to Providenciales

Service to Providenciales (PLS) starts December 20 and runs through May 2, 2027. Outbound flights leave RDU on Thursdays and Sundays. The current timetable shows a 6:05 p.m. departure and an 8:55 p.m. arrival in Providenciales.

Return flights leave Providenciales on Mondays and Fridays, running through May 3, 2027. They depart at 10:05 a.m. and arrive at RDU at 1 p.m.

The pattern creates natural trip lengths. Thursday out and Monday back gives four nights, while Sunday out and Friday back gives five. Anyone wanting a full week will need to look at other airlines or combine routings, since the schedule does not offer a seven-night pattern on this route.

Raleigh-Durham to Belize

The Belize service begins December 21, with the first southbound flight from RDU, and flies to Philip Goldson International Airport near Belize City. Outbound flights leave RDU on Mondays and Fridays through May 3, 2027. The winter schedule shows a 1:45 p.m. departure and a 4:30 p.m. arrival. After the U.S. clock change in March, the listed arrival becomes 3:30 p.m.

Return flights leave Belize on Thursdays and Sundays, starting December 20 and running through May 2. The report gives an arrival at RDU of 5:20 p.m. but does not give the Belize departure time, so check the airline’s timetable for that.

What the report does not say

Several points are missing from the coverage, and they matter for planning:

  • Fares. No prices are given.
  • Booking status. The report calls the flights “scheduled” and refers to the airline’s current timetable, but does not say whether tickets are on sale.
  • Schedule changes. It does not say whether the times could change, and seasonal schedules often do.
  • Flight numbers and booking links. None are provided.

Treat the times as a snapshot. Before you buy anything non-refundable, confirm the timetable on BermudAir’s own booking page.

Planning around a twice-weekly route

A route that flies only two days a week leaves little room for error. If a flight is cancelled, the next one may be three or four days away. That is a real risk for a resort trip with prepaid nights and transfers. Some sensible steps:

  1. Build in a buffer. Avoid scheduling a cruise, a wedding or a work commitment the day after your return flight.
  2. Read the transfer details. A late arrival in Providenciales at 8:55 p.m. means you should confirm the resort’s check-in hours and transfer cut-off. Our guide to how far from the airport your resort should be helps you weigh a late arrival against a long drive.
  3. Know your options if things go wrong. We cover the order to tackle problems in our article on what to do first when a flight is delayed or cancelled on a resort trip.
  4. Check what insurance covers. Our piece on travel insurance and all-inclusive trips explains the difference between a resort’s cancellation policy and a policy you buy yourself.

Lodging mentioned in the report

The Caribbean Journal piece also names places to stay at each end, separate from the flight details: Kokomo Botanical Resort and Windsong Resort in Turks and Caicos, and Blancaneaux Lodge and Gaia Riverlodge in Belize. These are not all-inclusive recommendations from us, and the report does not say what each includes. If you are building a trip around the new flights, check each property’s inclusions directly. Our page on Costa Rica and our other destination pages show how we lay out the same questions for other regions.

Who benefits

For travellers in the Raleigh-Durham area, a nonstop to either destination removes a connection through a hub, which cuts both travel time and the risk of a missed link with checked bags. The trade-off is frequency. A connecting itinerary on a larger airline offers daily options, while this route offers two days a week and a fixed window.

BermudAir has also been covered on this site for its Newark to South Caicos plans, so the airline appears to be building a seasonal Caribbean network. As with any new airline route, it is worth watching how the schedule holds up after the first few weeks before relying on it for a high-cost trip.

We will update this post if BermudAir publishes fares, opens sales or changes the timetable.
