Total passenger traffic at Bermuda’s airport for 2020 was down nearly 80% versus 2019 and “is not expected to begin showing signs of recovery until the second half of 2021 and into 2022,” Skyport said.
Skyport said, “As with recent announcements by Air Canada and British Airways, airlines continue to make difficult decisions regarding capacity adjustments to Bermuda and throughout their networks in response to this unprecedented global decline in travel demand.
“Total passenger traffic at the LF Wade International Airport for 2020 was down nearly 80 percent versus 2019 and is not expected to begin showing signs of recovery until the second half of 2021 and into 2022.
“Until then, we can expect airlines to further modify their schedules as travel demand warrants and as countries continue to manage the transmission of Covid-19 and the roll out of vaccine supplies.
“For January, traditionally Bermuda’s slowest month notwithstanding the impacts of the pandemic, the island has maintained service to and from Miami, Atlanta, New York and London, with charter flight service to the Azores.
“Skyport provides an updated monthly flight schedule on its website at bermudaairport.com and strongly encourages passengers to check with their respective airlines before traveling as schedules remain rather fluid.”
