Flair Airlines has launched nonstop service between Toronto and Montego Bay, strengthening air connectivity between Canada and Jamaica just as the peak winter travel season begins.
The airline’s inaugural flight to Montego Bay departed on December 18, expanding Flair’s Caribbean footprint and marking its second destination in Jamaica. The new route links Toronto Pearson International Airport with Montego Bay, one of the island’s most popular tourism hubs.
“Adding Montego Bay (MBJ) to our network is a proud moment for Flair and a clear reflection of what Flair FWD is all about: making travel more reliable, more delightful, and more affordable,” said Maciej Wilk, CEO of Flair Airlines. “Flair has long-standing ties to Jamaica, and strengthening connections between Canada and Jamaica is an honour. We are excited to continue investing in this beautiful country.”
The airline said the Montego Bay launch builds on the strong performance of its Kingston service and reinforces its commitment to affordable fares and reliability for Canadian travellers.
Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism, Edmund Bartlett, welcomed the new route, noting its timing as the island enters the busy winter season.
“We are pleased to welcome Flair Airlines’ new service from Toronto to Montego Bay as we enter the peak winter season. This added connectivity is especially important as Jamaica continues to rebound from the recent hurricane, reinforcing our resilience and ensuring seamless access for travellers eager to experience our island,” Bartlett said. He added, “Strengthening our airlift at this time supports our recovery efforts, bolsters our tourism sector, and reaffirms the strong demand for Jamaica’s culture, hospitality, and natural beauty. We look forward to welcoming even more visitors to our shores.”
Flights will operate up to twice weekly in each direction, with service beginning December 18. Introductory fares start at CAD$191 from Toronto to Montego Bay and CAD$196 on the return leg, according to the airline. Fares and schedules are subject to change.
Shane Munroe, CEO of MBJ Airports Limited, said the new service enhances accessibility to western Jamaica.
“Montego Bay offers a getaway to white-sand beaches, lush Caribbean landscapes, vibrant culture, warm hospitality, and unlimited opportunities for relaxation and adventure,” Munroe said. “With direct, affordable flights with Flair Airlines, the connections between Canada and Montego Bay continue to grow stronger and more accessible.”
Flair said the Toronto–Montego Bay route underscores its broader strategy to expand sun destinations while supporting tourism recovery and demand across the Caribbean.
