KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sep. 5, CMC – U.S. based carrier American Airlines, has taken a six week break from its twice weekly flights from Miami,Florida, to the Ian Fleming International Airport, in Boscobel, located in the eastern parish of St. Mary.
According to the Member of parliament for Western St. Mary, Robert Montague, the break is to allow the airline to review the last six months’ operations and to allow the airport’s authority to complete important internal works.
“The authority will use the time to so some work on the backend because the airport is being used a lot and the comfort of the passenger is paramount. So they will be taking a break – but as of December 5, American Airlines will be going to daily flights….we also anticipate that another airline will begin flying into Ian Fleming by the end of the year and we keep our fingers crossed….” Montague said
He also added that the airport is slowly outgrowing its capacity.
American Airlines’ twice weekly service between the Miami International airport and Ian Fleming started in February.
