MBJ Airports Limited (MBJ), operators of the Sangster International Airport (SIA), say while it continues to closely monitor the projected path of Hurricane Melissa, the facility remains open and operating normally at this time.

In an advisory on Saturday (October 25), MBJ Airports explained that, based on the hurricane warning now in effect for Jamaica, several scheduled departing flights at MBJ for today and over the next few days will be impacted.

Among the changes, Air Canada has added two extra flights between Toronto and Montego Bay today – F7050 and F7052 – while Air Transat has scheduled an additional section, TS9487, from Montego Bay to Toronto.

American Airlines has also increased capacity on two Miami-bound flights, AA2702 and AA2963, for Saturday.

However, a number of cancellations have been confirmed.

Air Canada has cancelled flights AC982/3 for Saturday through Tuesday, as well as AC988/9 and AC920/1 on Sunday and Monday.

Caribbean Airlines has cancelled its Fort Lauderdale service, BW032/033, for both Saturday and Sunday.

JetBlue has cancelled multiple flights to and from Montego Bay between Sunday and Tuesday, affecting routes connecting with New York, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando.

Southwest Airlines has also cancelled several flights between Montego Bay and United States cities, including Baltimore and Orlando, on Sunday and Monday.

MBJ Airports said it would continue to provide further updates about any changes to flight operations, including any extra flight operations or cancellations.  

Passengers are urged to contact their airline for rebooking and the latest flight information.
