Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says Jamaica is poised to increase airlift into the island for a third consecutive year.

He said that thousands of additional seats have been negotiated for the 2018/2019 winter tourist season, which will give further momentum to the market. 

These include 38,000 more seats out of the United States; a record 42,400 additional seats out of Canada; 12,000 more seats from Continental Europe; and 7,455 more seats out of the United Kingdom and Northern Europe.

Bartlett, who was addressing day two of the Jamaica Product Exchange (JAPEX) at the Montego Bay Convention Centre on Monday, said that, starting in October, several new flights will be coming directly out of Eastern Europe to the Sangster International Airport. These include Pegas Fly and Nordwind.
