• Adam Scott travels often for business between Bermuda and the East Coast of the US, and sometimes the journey is more difficult than others. Late last year, he was forced to purchase passage on a cruise ship to make a Monday morning meeting in Bermuda. Admitting that his experience was an "extreme example", the founder and chief executive of soon-to-launch regional airline Bermudair uses the episode to illustrate how air service to the British overseas territory has suffered in recent years -- particularly for business travelers. Scott believes that Bermudair will help reverse that trend, capitalize on a niche market and become the "first genuine business-class, shorthaul airline", he tells FlightGlobal. The carrier received its air operator certificate on July 26 from the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA), and on Aug 7 received approval of its foreign air carrier permit from the US Department of Transportation, clearing it to begin flights to the US.
