American Airlines is making it much easier for tourists from Austin, Texas in the United States to travel to Jamaica this summer.

The American carrier has announced that it will be offering non-stop service from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport. The new service will begin on June 4 with nonstop flights every Saturday.

American Airlines provides the largest service of commercial passengers to Jamaica currently and has been operating flights to the country for 45 years.

Commenting on the announcement, Jamaica’s Director of Tourism, Donovan White said: “We are very pleased to grow our valued partnership with American Airlines, the largest commercial passenger airline flying to Jamaica.”

He added: “The new non-stop flight from Austin complements the carrier’s existing service out of Dallas Fort Worth and offers yet another convenient option for travelers to get to our island as of this summer.”

In a recent statement, Francine Carter Henry, tour operator and airlines manager at the Jamaica Tourist Board, said: “It’s wonderful to see our long-standing partnership with American Airlines keep growing. We are looking forward to seeing more visitors arrive into Montego Bay with these new flights.”

Currently, Americans can travel nonstop to Jamaica on American Airlines from Miami (MIA), New York (JFK), Philadelphia (PHL), Chicago (ORD), Boston (BOS), Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW, and Charlotte (CLT).
