Spirit Airlines is set to resume the nonstop route from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport to Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, starting July 11.
The service will run thrice weekly, on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, providing travellers with greater access to one of the Caribbean’s most popular travel destinations.
Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett stated, “This nonstop flight from Baltimore highlights Jamaica’s rising popularity as a top travel destination, while also reinforcing the economic and cultural connections between our island and the US East Coast.”
“The reintroduction of this route not only improves access from an important US region but also increases our seating capacity to accommodate the growing demand for travel to Jamaica this summer,” he added.
Donovan White, Director of Tourism, shared, “We are excited to resume this Spirit Airlines service, which makes it even more convenient for travellers from the US East Coast to explore Jamaica. We eagerly anticipate welcoming more guests and giving them the chance to enjoy our beautiful beaches, vibrant culture, award-winning food, and iconic music.”
John Kirby, vice president of network planning at Spirit Airlines, expressed, “We’re all about getting our Guests to the places they want to go most, and Montego Bay is a great destination for travellers looking to enjoy a warm, Caribbean getaway. The service connecting the Baltimore-Washington DC area (BWI) to Jamaica will make it easier for visitors to explore the island and nicely complements our existing service from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Orlando (MCO).”
Jamaica continues to solidify its position as a premier global tourist destination, and expanding airlift remains a top priority for driving sustainable economic growth and increasing visitor arrivals.
