 Air Jamaica route closure threatens Europe ties
There is mounting concern among Jamaica’s tourism community that Air Jamaica’s cancellation of UK services could be detrimental to its travel trade with Europe.
Air Jamaica pulled the plug on its Kingston-Montego Bay to London route the other week, after reporting $27 million losses last year. Virgin Atlantic will take over the route on October 30th through a codeshare deal.
Therefore, travellers from the UK and Europe will no longer be able to fly from Heathrow. There will also be less frequency from Gatwick, with only two flights per week replacing the daily flight. Passengers will soon have to change airport and airline, as well as departure and return dates.
