A significant development in Jamaica's internal transportation network sees the introduction of a new air service linking Kingston, the capital, with Montego Bay, a prominent tourist destination. This initiative, spearheaded by LIAT 2020, is set to transform how people move between these vital economic and cultural centers, promising greater speed and accessibility for both residents and visitors.
The new air bridge will facilitate travel on a consistent basis, with flights departing from Kingston to Montego Bay on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Return journeys from Montego Bay to Kingston are scheduled for Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Travelers can anticipate competitive pricing, with one-way fares commencing at an attractive rate of $122 USD, inclusive of all taxes, making air travel a viable and efficient option for many.
This localized expansion within Jamaica is part of LIAT 2020's wider strategic vision for enhancing air connectivity across the Caribbean. The airline is actively pursuing growth throughout the region, with additional new services on the horizon. Notably, a new route connecting Antigua with Montego Bay is also slated to commence operations soon, further solidifying LIAT's presence and commitment to facilitating seamless travel throughout the Northern Caribbean. These efforts reflect a growing demand among travelers for more efficient and direct connections between key Caribbean destinations.
