MONTEGO BAY, St James - JetBlue Airways is to commence service between New York's JFK and Sangster International Airport in this resort city in May, as part of the American-based company's plan to expand its international operations.
According to chief commercial officer of MBJ Airports Ltd, Elizabeth Scotton, the carrier will fly one daily round trip between the two cities as of May 21.
"The flight will arrive at approximately 11:00 am in Montego Bay and depart at about 12 noon, using an A320 aeroplane which has a capacity of 150 seats," Scotton said.
According to JetBlue, the service will allow for easy connections from numerous Northeastern cities, including Boston, Buffalo, Rochester and Washington.
It added that the service will allow travellers all of the amenities for which the airline has become known. These include seatback television programming, comfortable leather seats, unlimited free snacks and excellent customer service.
The announcement of the planned service comes days after Air Jamaica, the national carrier, said it will cut a number of routes and scale down flights to some of its destinations starting next month.
Yesterday, Scotton said MBJ Airports Ltd was very elated at the announcement, particularly at a time when the world is facing several financial challenges.
"We are pleased to see the addition of the new airline. to see a new airline take the decision to start service into Montego Bay given the current economic climate," she told Caribbean Business Report.
Tickets for the new service are expected to go on sale next Wednesday.
Montego Bay will become one of 11 international cities on JetBlue's route map. Other new cities being added over the next few months by the value airline include Los Angeles, USA; Bogota, Colombia; and San Jose, Costa Rica.
JetBlue currently serves 52 cities with 600 daily flights.</div></div>
