KINGSTON, May 31, 2010—Air Jamaica kicks off summer with the addition of flights to New York and Toronto, the reintroduction of service to Nassau and the suspension of flights to Baltimore.
Starting July 1, Air Jamaica’s summer schedule is as follows:
• 5 daily flights to New York
• 4 daily flights to Fort Lauderdale
• 2 daily flights to Toronto
• Daily flights to Philadelphia
• Daily flights to Nassau
Air Jamaica’s service to New York offers two daily flights from Montego Bay and three daily flights from Kingston, including the Nitebird which departs Kingston at 11.55 p.m., arriving in New York at 4:40 a.m.
The additional daily flight between Kingston and Toronto will depart Kingston at 1:25 a.m., allowing passengers to sleep on board, and then enjoy a full day of activities in Toronto. Passengers destined for Kingston will also have the option of an early arrival.
Air Jamaica’s summer schedule will see the return of flights to Nassau with an increase to daily service. Air Jamaica will suspend service to Baltimore effective July 1, 2010 utilizing the aircraft on other routes with stronger demand.
“In developing the new schedule we placed a lot of emphases on making flight times convenient, and we are sure this will prove a big win with our customers,” said Bruce Nobles, the airline’s President and CEO.
