JetBlue Flight 203 from Boston to Bermuda is significantly delayed due to consistent ice and freezing rain affecting operations in Boston.

Originally scheduled to arrive in Bermuda at 13:25 local time, the flight is now expected to arrive over five hours later at 18:45.

Meteorological reports from Boston Logan International Airport have described low clouds and visibility as well as multiple hours of freezing rain.

Ice and snow on the fuselage and wings of an aircraft can significantly impact the way the aircraft flies. De-icing procedures are often used in colder climates to prevent accidents related to aircraft ice contamination.

Boston Logan has minimal de-icing pads compared to other cold-climate airports, which has caused delays of an hour or more today.

The return flight to Boston is scheduled to depart at 20:15 this evening.

BermudAir has recently hinted at adding three more new routes to their existing route network.

The local airline currently operates to seven destinations in North America, with an additional three routes to begin in April of this year.

A social media post from BermudAir hinted at landmarks in their future destinations.

A Bermuda Government press release from December 13th stated that “BermudAir has announced plans to expand to three additional markets in Montreal, Quebec; Hamilton, Ontario and Norfolk, Virginia.”

The start date for the new routes is unknown, but will bring the total number of destinations to 13 (9 in the USA and 4 in Canada).

This comes shortly after the airline’s announcement that they will take on two Embraer E-190s this spring.

Local airline BermudAir has announced their fleet expansion with a further two aircraft.

BermudAir has announced that they will take delivery of two Embraer E190AR-E1 aircraft in the spring of this year.

The aircraft will operate with a 96-seat capacity in an 8 business class seat and 88 economy seat configuration.

The two aircraft are designed to assist with operational reliability as well as further growth to new destinations. The acquisition follows the airline’s announcement in 2024 that they will add three destinations including Hartford, CT (BDL), Raleigh-Durham (RDU), and Charleston (CHS).

Adam Scott, Founder and CEO of BermudAir, shared his enthusiasm about this milestone,
exclaiming, “After just one year of establishing BermudAir, we are thrilled to take this next step
in our journey. Adding these two Embraer 190 aircraft will allow us to grow thoughtfully while
ensuring we maintain the high standards of reliability and service our customers have come
to expect. This expansion will support our efforts to stabilise operations, create new
opportunities for travel, and enhance the experience for everyone who flies BermudAir.”

The airline did not comment on whether the aircraft will be from the same lessor as their current aircraft.

An eventual day becomes more eventful with a significant delay to Delta Airlines Flight 583 to Atlanta.

An unknown issue with one of the original aircrafts’ engines has forced the Airbus A319 to remain on the ground until it can be repaired.

A recovery aircraft is currently en-route to the island from Atlanta and is scheduled to arrive just before 9:00pm local time.

The flight will now depart at 9:45pm with a total 6 hour and 20 minute delay.

Passengers will receive refunds from Delta due to this delay following new rules implemented at the end of 2024 by the Biden administration and the United States Department for Transport on domestic and international flight delays.

A private jet has declared an emergency and is currently burning fuel to the east of the island before it makes an emergency landing.

The aircraft, a Learjet 60 registered N714TS, is experiencing an issue with its nose landing gear. The aircraft is holding to the east of the island to burn fuel before making an emergency landing on runway 30.

The pilots reported feeling “adverse yaw” on takeoff and requested to complete a low approach for the air traffic control tower to view the state of the landing gear. The tower and an aircraft on the ground both reported that the landing gear looked “slightly skewed”.

This situation is ongoing and information will be provided as it is discovered.

Both the Charlotte and Atlanta services to Bermuda today have been cancelled due to a winter storm impacting the US east coast.

The American Airlines Flight 2044 from Charlotte and the Delta Airlines Flight 584 from Atlanta have been cancelled while a winter storm affects operations across the entire US east coast.

Snow, ice and low visibility are more rare in North Carolina and Georgia, meaning the main international airports are less prepared for aircraft de-icing operations.

Hundreds of flights have been cancelled to and from both destinations today, with a regular flight schedule expected to resume tomorrow.

American Airlines Flight 3048 to Charlotte yesterday was also cancelled due to the weather after the inbound flight arrived on the island. The aircraft remained on the ground overnight and is expected to depart today to operate the return flight to Charlotte.

British Airways Flight 158 to London Heathrow was delayed by over an hour last night after a lightning strike on arrival.

The first officer on the inbound flight reported a lightning strike on approach to the island, grounding the aircraft until it could be checked by an engineer.

High wind speeds on the ground in Bermuda at the time meant that an engineer was unable to inspect the aircraft for safety reasons.

The aircraft, G-VIIN, a 26 year old Boeing 777-200, arrived on the island at 18:26 local time and departed an hour late at 21:08 after being inspected for damage by the engineer.

The Bermuda Police Service has announced that a 47-year old man was arrested for suspicion of importing a controlled drug on Friday the 3rd of January.

The male was detained by H. M. Bermuda Customs at L. F. Wade International Airport with a quantity of suspected controlled drugs being discovered in the man’s luggage during a subsequent search.

Inspector Nidol Barker of the BPS Drugs Unit stated, “This seizure is significant and carries an estimated street value of approximately 700 thousand dollars”.

“Thanks to the vigilance of our partners at HM
Bermuda Customs, these items were prevented from making it onto the streets where they could have posed a serious threat to the safety and well-being of members of our community”.

Azores Airlines has announced that they will not reinstate the popular summer connection between Bermuda and Ponta Delgada.

Bermuda is one of the 5 routes to be cancelled by the airline, including Ponta Delgada to London, Terceira to Oakland and services from Porto or Madeira to North America.

Azores Airlines has cited financial difficulties for the route cancellations, with the president explaining that there had been “a lot of mismanagement [at the airline] for many years”.

In an attempt to reduce costs, the airline is reducing the number of aircraft on offer for ACMI operations, where the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance is included in the price of a charter.

The Bermuda Flyer has reached out to Azores Airlines for comment.
