Caribbean Airlines Resumes Daily Flights to Montego Bay, Signaling a New Era of Expansion

In a significant move aimed at bolstering regional connectivity, Caribbean Airlines resumed daily flights to Montego Bay on Tuesday from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The relaunch not only restores a vital travel route but also marks a major step in the airline’s broader strategy to expand its network across the Caribbean.

The move comes on the heels of a challenging period during which flights into Jamaica were halted amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Last December, the carrier successfully restarted services into Kingston with three weekly flights, and plans are now underway to offer daily connections to the Jamaican capital. “This relaunch is part of Caribbean Airlines’ broader growth strategy, one deeply rooted in the people, culture, and communities we serve,” said CEO Garvin Medera during a reception ceremony at Sangster International Airport.

Medera highlighted the airline’s impressive expansion over the past year. “Last year, we strengthened our connections across the French, Dutch-, Spanish-, and English-speaking Caribbean, which helped us expand our network in Martinique, Guadeloupe, San Juan, and Tortola,” he noted. With 140 passengers on board the inaugural flight, Medera emphasized that the new route is just the beginning. “But we are not stopping here. In 2025, we will continue this upward trajectory, and today’s launch is an essential part of that progress. Later this year, there will be more news to announce as we expand our reach across the hemisphere.”

The airline’s renewed momentum is reflected in its record performance in 2024, when Caribbean Airlines transported over two million passengers. Medera also pointed out a notable 17-percentage-point increase in customer satisfaction, positioning the carrier among the world’s top-performing airlines.

Elated Tourism Director Donovan White added that Tuesday’s relaunch was more than merely restoring an air route—it represented a renewed commitment to driving tourism and economic growth in the region. With ongoing strategic initiatives and planned enhancements in service, the future looks bright for Caribbean Airlines and the communities it connects.

As the airline continues to expand its footprint across the Caribbean, industry watchers anticipate further announcements later this year, promising an even more integrated and accessible travel network for millions of passengers.
