American Airlines, a founding member of the oneworld(R) Alliance, announced today it will begin new service between Kingston, Jamaica (KIN), and Fort Lauderdale (FLL). The service will begin June 1, subject to government approval.

American will fly the route daily with its 148-seat Boeing 737-800 aircraft, which feature 16 seats in First Class and 132 seats in the Coach cabin.

"We have served Jamaica for more than 31 years and we are proud to continue to grow the market with this new route," said Peter Dolara, American's Senior Vice President - Mexico, Caribbean and Latin America. "This new flight complements our current service from Miami, allowing increased visits to friends and family, as well as continuing to develop trade and tourism in Jamaica."

American currently serves Jamaica from Miami with three daily flights to Kingston and two flights to Montego Bay. It also serves Montego Bay daily from New York-JFK and five times weekly from its Dallas/Fort Worth hub.
