Jamaica to introduce direct United Airlines flights from Denver to Montego Bay

Jamaica is making travel to the island more accessible for U.S. tourists with the launch of a non-stop air service from Denver International Airport (DEN) to Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay.

The service, set to begin on 4 November 2023, will operate weekly flights on Saturdays, providing the only direct service from Denver to Jamaica.

Jamaica's Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett expressed delight over the expanded partnership with United Airlines, as Denver is a rapidly growing market in the U.S.

“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," Minister Bartlett said.

Director of Tourism for the Jamaica Tourist Board Donovan White also expressed satisfaction with the new addition to Jamaica's air service.

“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,” White commented.

With this new service, United Airlines will be serving five routes from the U.S. to Jamaica, complementing existing non-stop flights from Newark (EWR), Washington D.C. (IAD), Chicago (ORD), and Houston (HOU) to Montego Bay.
