U.S. travelers from New York, Boston, Ft.
Lauderdale, Orlando and Hartford will find 30,000 additional airline seats
available when planning their winter trip
to Jamaica.
Beginning in November 2024, Avelo
Airlines will offer twice weekly service from Hartford’s Bradley
International Airport (BDL) to Jamaica’s Sangster International Airport (MBJ),
Montego Bay.
JetBlue will increase
its service to Kingston, Jamaica this winter over the peak festive season with
as many as five flights daily from New York’s John F. Kennedy International
Airport (JFK) as well as Ft. Lauderdale – Hollywood International Airport
(FLL), while JFK and FLL into MBJ will increase to four times daily over the
peak of the season.
Additionally, JetBlue flights from Boston’s Logan
International Airport (BOS) will increase to three times weekly during the winter
months, while flights from Orlando International Airport (MCO) will be twice
daily for the festive season.
“Winter air lift from
JetBlue is estimated to increase by more than 30,000 seats from key markets,”
said the Hon. Edmund Bartlett, Minister of Tourism, Jamaica. “Coupled with
Avelo’s new service from Connecticut, this gives us access to millions of potential
visitors to our island.”
Director of Tourism,
Jamaica Tourist Board Donovan White added, “We are grateful for the strong
relationships we continue to enjoy with airline and travel industry partners,
and this is reflected in our ability to bring visitors here from key and
emerging gateway markets.”
Between January 1 and September 14, 2024, Jamaica has
welcomed just over two million stopover visitors, and approximately three
million total visitors, including cruise arrivals. This achievement marks an
increase over last year's figures for the same period.
