Virgin Atlantic to Start Nonstop Flights to Jamaica´s Montego Bay

Virgin Atlantic Airways today announced its expansion plans for the next year which will see the launch of direct services from London to Montego Bay, Jamaica. Services between London Gatwick and Jamaica will operate twice a week on a Boeing 747-400 aircraft from July 2006.

Virgin Atlantic Airways plans to launch services to Jamaica following successful bilateral air services talks earlier this month in Kingston between the UK and Jamaican governments.

Subject to final approval from the Jamaican government Virgin Atlantic plans to launch two services a week between London Gatwick and Montego Bay.

Virgin Atlantic began services to the Caribbean in 1998 with flights to Barbados, St Lucia and Antigua. In 2003, the company launched weekly flights to Grenada and Tobago, and this summer it´ll spread its wings toward both Cuba and The Bahamas.
