Direct service between Bermuda and the Azores will resume next month while other airlines tweak their schedules for the holiday period.

According to the December flight schedule, published by Skyport this week, Sata Airlines will fly between Bermuda and Ponta Delgada twice next month, with flights scheduled for December 10 and 17.

Meanwhile, BermudAir will add several flights to its regular schedule, temporarily bolstering service to Orlando and Halifax with extra flights to both cities on December 21 and 28.

The airline will continue to offer five weekly flights to Boston and Westchester, three weekly flights to Toronto, two weekly flights to Baltimore and weekly service to Fort Lauderdale.

American Airlines will continue to offer daily service to New York and Miami throughout December, but daily service to Charlotte will be paused on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day before resuming on Boxing Day.

The United Airlines daily service to Newark will continue through the month, while British Airways will continue to offer five weekly flights to Heathrow and Air Canada will offer four weekly flights to Toronto.

JetBlue will run four weekly flights between Bermuda and Boston, while Delta will offer four weekly flights to JFK and three weekly flights to Atlanta.

Compared with last December, this year will offer greater service to Toronto, Halifax, Orlando, Baltimore and Newark, thanks to increased service to those destinations from BermudAir, Air Canada and United Airlines.

BermudAir has announced plans to expand its offerings next year with the addition of direct flights to Bradley International Airport in Connecticut, Raleigh-Durham Airport in North Carolina and Charleston International Airport in South Carolina.
