Jamaica Welcomes Inaugural Frontier Flight from Dallas Fort Worth to Montego Bay

Continuing to expand ease of access to the island for US travelers, Jamaica welcomed new air service from Dallas Fort Worth to Montego Bay.

In keeping with Jamaica’s warm island culture, the inaugural flight by Frontier Airlines was celebrated with festivities on May 22, 2023, upon departure from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and with arrival at Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

“We are very pleased to continue expanding our partnership with Frontier Airlines,” said the Hon. Edmund Bartlett, Minister of Tourism, Jamaica. “The launch of this new non-stop flight from a key Southern U.S. gateway supports the strong rebound of Jamaica’s tourism sector as we are returning visitor arrivals numbers to pre-pandemic growth levels.”

Donovan White, Director of Tourism, Jamaica Tourist Board, added, “It is gratifying to welcome another non-stop flight to our island by Frontier. It is an important addition to our existing air service that provides U.S. travelers with yet another convenient option to get to the island.”

“Our recent growth in Jamaica is unparalleled.”

Daniel Shurz, Senior Vice President of Commercial, Frontier Airlines, added, “We’re thrilled to provide an opportunity for more people to enjoy this tropical paradise.”
