JetBlue Launches Nonstop Boston-Montego Bay Service

Jamaica Tourist Board’s New England Sales Manager John Woolcock and JetBlue Airways Northeast Regional Marketing Manager J.J. Storer were joined by JetBlue crew members to cut the ceremonial ribbon signifying the start of JetBlue’s nonstop service from Boston to Montego Bay.

The Jamaican celebration was held at Boston’s Logan International Airport on Jan. 9, just prior to the flight’s departure. Jamaica Tourist Board’s Regional Director Rosie Johnson exchanged local Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Beans with Storer.

Storer presented Boston Baked Beans to Johnson as a symbol of the new partnership between the two cities minutes after JetBlue made its inaugural flight from Boston to the Sangster International Airport on Jan. 9.

The new Montego Bay route comes on the heels of the May 2009 launch of daily nonstop service from New York to Montego Bay, the airline’s most successful Caribbean launch to date.

The flight operates on Saturdays departing from Boston at 11:55 a.m., arriving into Montego Bay at 3:45 p.m. The return flight departs Montego Bay at 4:45 p.m., and arrives into Boston at 8:53 p.m.
