On June 22nd 2014, we successfully ferried our B767-300ER aircraft into Kingston, Jamaica. Our B767-300ER is a 100% increase in our fleet size, joining our B757-200ER to provide a reliable transportation product to all our customers.
We thank all our dedicated staff and all our loyal customers for helping to make Fly Jamaica Airways the airline of choice among many air travellers.
We hope to increase our flight operations to John F. Kennedy International, New York, USA, to a daily service. We are currently operating seven days per week from KIN to JFK, NY, USA, Toronto, Canada (YYZ) and Georgetown, Guyana (GEO).

Our new route structure is geared to provide easy access from Kingston, Jamaica (KIN) to Georgetown, Guyana (GEO) (Approximately Three hours flying time) and hopefully provide increased tourism and trade between the two Caricom countries.
