Caribbean Airlines Suspends Jamaica–Fort Lauderdale Flights

Caribbean Airlines will suspend its Fort Lauderdale–Montego Bay and Fort Lauderdale–Kingston services effective November 2, 2025, as part of a network-optimization programme to reallocate aircraft and crew. The carrier said the decision responds to weak economic conditions on the Jamaica–Fort Lauderdale market — including reported low load factors (about 32% in May), rising operating costs and stiff competition from U.S. carriers — and follows relaunches of the routes in December 2024 and early 2025. Affected passengers with bookings after November 1 will be eligible for full refunds or travel credits. The cuts are part of broader efforts to improve fleet efficiency, cost management and overall profitability. Concurrently, Caribbean Airlines has signed a codeshare with Air Caraïbes to offer single‑ticket connections via Martinique and Guadeloupe to Paris‑Orly, with through check‑in and through‑checked baggage to expand access between the Caribbean and Europe.
