Eurowings Discover Begins Twice-Per-Week Direct Flights To Montego Bay

• Jamaica has gained new connections to a wider European travel market with the commencement of direct flights via Eurowings Discover from Frankfurt, Germany, to the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, St. James. 
• Regional Director of the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) in continental Europe, Gregory Shervington, told journalists that the arrival of the plane signals the commencement of nonstop direct service to Montego Bay twice per week. 
• In terms of seat capacity, Eurowings adds substantial capacity and convenience as they are the only airline, which offers nonstop service in both directions from Germany to Jamaica now. Mr. Shervington said that the airline’s decision to start new flight service from Germany to Jamaica can only bolster the country’s image on the international stage. 
• For his part, Eurowings Discover’s Director of Network Airport Relations, Rupert Kraus, said that with the new flight service, there is the capacity to shuttle approximately 15,000 passengers over the winter tourist season to Montego Bay. This will could help Jamaica to record a strong winter season and potentially improve the speed of recovery in the sector.
