KINGSTON, Jamaica – Domestic flights between the western city of Montego Bay and Kingston are set to return after a five-year break.

Regional carrier, LIAT Airlines will launch a new intra-island service on July 11, operating three times a week from Sangster International Airport.

The announcement was made Wednesday by Shane Monroe, CEO of MBJ Airports during the airport forum in Montego Bay.

He said the flights that will connect Montego Bay, Kingston and Antigua and Barbuda are part of efforts to boost regional connectivity.

The new service is expected to be a game-changer, cutting travel time between Montego Bay and Kingston from over two hours by car to just 25 minutes by air.

It’s also expected to support growth in tourism, logistics and commerce across the island and the wider Caribbean. (CMC)
