Caribbean Airlines is focusing on Kingston.

After a “full review of its network operations,” the Trinidad-based carrier announced that it would be discontinuing its flights between Fort Lauderdale and Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Beginning Jan. 8, the airline will only be flying its Fort Lauderdale-Kingston route, a route that operates daily.

Flights between Montego Bay and Fort Lauderdale will continue through Jan. 7, the company said, with customers booked after that date having been offered a full refund or “reallocated to other services.”

“Caribbean Airlines thanks its valued customers for their support and looks forward to their continued patronage in other markets,” the carrier said in a statement.
