PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO — Caribbean Airlines advises that effective November 2, 2025, the airline will discontinue services between Kingston and Montego Bay, Jamaica, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
This adjustment forms part of Caribbean Airlines’ ongoing network optimization programme, which involves continuous evaluation of routes, to ensure the sustainability and efficiency of operations across its network.
Following a detailed review, and after careful consideration, it was determined that current economic conditions impacting the Jamaica–Fort Lauderdale market require the airline to reallocate resources. This decision supports the company’s long-term objectives of fleet efficiency, cost management and delivering reliable service to its valued customers.
Discontinued flights are:

While adjustments to our schedule are sometimes necessary in response to evolving market conditions, our commitment to delivering a safe, reliable, and customer-focused service remains unchanged. We will continue to serve Jamaica and the Diaspora through other gateways within our network.”
