Moving swiftly on key elements of its 2009 Business Plan, Air Jamaica has announced a new schedule that focuses on core routes in the U.S., offering flight options with superior convenience to travelers.

Effective February 26, 2009, the airline’s new schedule will include four daily flights from Fort Lauderdale to Jamaica, allowing South Florida passengers to have the flexibility of early morning arrivals and late evening departures. The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport offers travelers easy access to Miami, and with many travelers also living and working in West Palm Beach and surrounding areas, Air Jamaica is confident that the new schedule is in step with the lifestyles of its passengers.

The new schedule will also offer the only daily non-stop flights from New York to Jamaica, with two flights to Kingston and one to Montego Bay each day. In addition, this new schedule will give New York travelers a chance to wake up in Barbados or Grenada with two non-stop flights each week to both destinations.

Air Jamaica’s new schedule has 218 weekly flights to 13 destinations, with service between Jamaica and Toronto, New York (JFK), Chicago (O’Hare), Baltimore, Philadelphia, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Curacao and Nassau, as well as service between New York and Barbados and New York and Grenada.
