Jamaica have announced that Avelo Airlines will launch its second international route to Jamaica’s Sangster International Airport (MBJ) from Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU).
Starting February 12, Avelo will operate this route twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays. “Since Avelo’s inaugural flight to Jamaica this November, we have been able to expand our reach even further to additional U.S. markets,” said the Hon. Edmund Bartlett, Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism.
“The launch of this additional gateway during our key winter season reflects the confidence placed in Jamaica by our partners. This year, we’re poised to welcome an unprecedented number of visitors to the island, which will continue to strengthen Jamaica’s economy and create opportunities for its people.”
Since taking flight in 2021, Avelo Airlines has flown over five million customers across 23 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and two international countries – one of which includes Jamaica with the November 2024 launch of its first route between MBJ and Bradley International Airport (BDL), New England’s second-largest airport and a direct line to Connecticut, home to one of the largest Jamaican communities in the world. Donovan White, Jamaica’s Director of Tourism, added: “With additional infrastructure expansions across the island, we’re making it easier than ever to experience all that Jamaica has to offer.
“We firmly believe that the journey itself is part of the vacation, and by offering more convenient travel options, we’re ensuring that every step of the experience is incredibly seamless.” For more information about Jamaica, visit their website.
