Caribbean Airlines will modify its U.S. network beginning Nov. 2 by suspending two routes. The airline said the update is part of its network optimization program and was made in response to “current economic conditions” affecting specific routes.
Effective Nov. 2, flights between Kingston and Montego Bay, Jamaica, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, will end. The final services will operate on Nov. 1 under flight numbers BW30 through BW33.
The network changes were loaded in last week’s Cirium Diio schedule update and confirmed by the carrier last month.
“Caribbean Airlines remains steadfast in its mission to connect people and communities across the region and beyond,” said the airline’s commercial chief, Martin Aeberli, in a news release. “While adjustments to our schedule are sometimes necessary in response to evolving market conditions, our commitment to delivering a safe, reliable, and customer-focused service remains unchanged.”
Passengers booked beyond Nov. 1 on affected flights are being notified directly. The airline said full refunds will be issued automatically,
Caribbean Airlines will continue to serve Port of Spain from Fort Lauderdale. The carrier began connecting Fort Lauderdale and Jamaica in 2011.
In addition to Fort Lauderdale, the airline also serves New York-JFK; Miami; Orlando, Florida; and San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the U.S.
