In a bid to further broaden the accessibility for U.S. tourists to Jamaica, the United Airlines has announced a new air service, commencing on November 4, 2023. This service will operate from Denver International Airport (DEN) to Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
The flight, scheduled weekly on Saturdays, marks United Airlines as the sole operator offering non-stop flights from Denver to Jamaica.
Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism welcomes expansion of partnership with United Airlines
Minister of Tourism, Jamaica, the Hon. Edmund Bartlett, expressed his satisfaction, stating, “We are very pleased to expand our partnership with United with the launch of this new non-stop flight from the legacy carrier’s Denver hub.”
“The mile-high city is one of the fastest growing in the U.S., so it represents a top target market in the west and supports the strong rebound of Jamaica’s tourism sector as our visitor arrivals numbers are returning to growth over 2019 levels,” he added.
Also hailing this development, Donovan White, Director of Tourism, Jamaica Tourist Board, said, “To welcome another non-stop flight to our island by United, the most-flown airline operating out of Denver, is very gratifying. It is an important addition to Jamaica’s existing air service that provides U.S. travelers with yet another convenient option to get to the island for their next business or leisure trip.”
