Virgin May Drop Kingston Flights

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - June 9, 2011 - 11:30 am

Virgin Atlantic may be dropping its flights to Kingston, and Jamaican Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett is set to meet with the company to discuss the matter. The move will not affect flights from London to Jamaica’s Montego Bay, however. “We are aware that the U.K. market is costing a bit because there has been a reduction in the market to the Caribbean by some 300-odd percent,” Bartlett said.
