TORONTO — Canada Jetlines is just two days away from launching its much-anticipated inaugural flight from Toronto to Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Starting Dec. 9, 2023, the airline will begin operating the Toronto Pearson-Montego Bay route with an initial frequency of 2x/weekly, on Saturdays and Sundays. It expects to add a third weekly flight starting in 2024, offering even more flexibility for sun-seekers.

“The arrival of Canada Jetlines’ inaugural flight into Montego Bay represents a significant milestone for both the airline and Destination Jamaica,” said Edmund Bartlett, Minister of Tourism, Jamaica. “With the launch of this new service from Toronto to Montego Bay, we look forward to welcoming even more Canadian travellers this winter season to experience Jamaica’s vibrant tourism offerings and warm island spirit.”

Minister Bartlett also noted that the new service will play a valuable role in helping Jamaica achieve its target of attracting 500,000 annual visitors from Canada by 2025.

News of the Toronto-Montego Bay route, along with Toronto-Orlando, was first announced in August 2023. The Toronto-Orlando route took off on Oct. 30, 2023.
