Kingston, Jamaica - May 31, 2007 - Air Jamaica “The World’s Best Airline to the Caribbean” has announced the launch of its new summer schedule from Los Angeles to Jamaica, flying daily June 28 through September 4 from Los Angeles to Jamaica, further expanding destination options for travelers on the West Coast.  Both the departure and arrival times allow for convenient connections throughout the western USA.  This expanded service increases Air Jamaica’s existing schedule from 5 days per week to daily.

The flight (JM074) will depart Los Angeles daily at 10:40PM and arrive the following day in Montego Bay at 6:25AM.  The return flight from Montego Bay to Los Angeles (JM075) will depart at 4:25PM and arrive Los Angeles at 8:30PM.  The route will operate on Air Jamaica’s A320, comfortably seating 150 passengers - 12 Executive Business Class and 138 Lovebird Economy seats.

“The increase from 5 days per week to daily service connecting Los Angeles and Jamaica is in response to the increased passenger traffic from this market and offers more options for our loyal customers from this gateway.  Now it’s even easier for passengers to experience Air Jamaica’s unparalleled lovebird hospitality to Jamaica as well as connections to our other destinations in the Eastern Caribbean,” said Paul Pennicook, Air Jamaica’s Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing. 

Montego Bay serves as Air Jamaica’s hub in the Caribbean, and now West Coast travelers will now have better and more frequent options for their vacation and business travel.  The combination of increased service, attention to customer needs and free amenities including champagne, meals, snacks and in-flight entertainment continue to show why Air Jamaica is “The World’s Best Airline to the Caribbean.”
