JetBlue planning Jamaica routes
From Caribbean360: NEW YORK, United States, August 27, 2009 - Two American low-cost carriers are battling for a share of the Caribbean market, and Jamaica in particular.
JetBlue Airways, which already has a foot hold in the region with up to 71 daily flights to Caribbean destinations, and AirTran Airways both made requests on Tuesday to begin new services in Jamaica. JetBlue said it had applied for authority from the island's government to begin offering two new routes linking Montego Bay to its expanding focus cities in Boston and Orlando, Florida, starting from the coming winter season. "Jamaica and JetBlue is truly a match made in heaven - or paradise, as it were," said Scott Laurence, JetBlue's vice president of route planning. "We're thrilled to add to our island service with new flights from Boston and Orlando, where our ongoing international expansion has been a true success story."
US Airways to launch Phoenix-Jamaica flight
Travel Weekly is reporting: Travelers from the West headed to Jamaica will catch a big break this winter, thanks to US Airways' new seasonal service from Phoenix to Montego Bay.
The flight, which runs from Dec. 18 through April 12, operates Fridays through Mondays from Phoenix, departing at 10 a.m. and arriving in Jamaica at 4:53 p.m. From Jamaica, the flight operates Thursdays through Sundays, departing at 12:25 p.m. and arriving at 4:09 p.m. arrival in Phoenix. Pretty animated in the comments section on this flight :)

Air Jamaica sold?
This story broke on the 4th of July and slipped under my radar: The Gleaner has learnt that Indigo Partners and Oaktree Capital, who are reportedly the owners of Spirit Airlines
, have bought the country's national carrier, Air Jamaica.
It is further understood that Air Jamaica's name might be changed to Spirit of Jamaica. Sources close to the negotiations are tight-lipped, but they have confirmed that Trinidadian-owned Caribbean Airlines did not win the bid to take over the Jamaican airline. The news comes days after the Privatisation committee, which has been managing the task of privatising Air Jamaica, submitted its recommendation to Senator Don Wehby, minister without portfolio in the Ministry of Finance. More from the Jamaica Gleaner.
Air Jamaica cuts routes
From the Jamaica Gleaner - Air Jamaica is cutting routes: Effective February 26, Air Jamaica will exit its Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami and Grand Cayman routes, taking the jobs of an estimated 600 staff members in the process.
The national carrier will also discontinue service between Jamaica and Barbados and Jamaica and Grenada, President and CEO Bruce Nobles said in a three-page letter to staff, outlining the airline's cost-cutting business plan aimed at quickly stemming the substantial cash losses at the company and positioning the airline on a path to profitability
Iberostar resort to open on Jamaica
From Travel Weekly: The 293-room Iberostar Grand Hotel Rose Hall in Jamaica is set to open on Jan. 16 after two earlier postponements.
The resort is the newest addition to Iberostar's Grand Collection, a luxury brand launched in 2007 with the opening of the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso on Mexico's Riviera Maya. The Iberostar Grand Hotel Rose Hall is the final component of Iberostar's three-property, all-inclusive beachfront complex in the Rose Hall section of Montego Bay. The first to open was the 366-room Iberostar Rose Hall Beach in May 2007, followed by the 273-room Iberostar Rose Hall Suites in October. |
