Jamaica has secured more than 1.3 million airline seats for the 2027 winter tourist season running from January to April.
In a release on Friday, the Jamaica Tourist Board says it’s a 23 percent increase when compared to the corresponding period in 2026.
It says the outlook has improved steadily over the past 60 days, with additional airline confirmations in the past two weeks.
Canada leads the year-on-year expansion with a 62 percent increase in seats.
It’s followed by the United States at 23 percent and Latin America at 2 percent.
The Tourist Board says total scheduled capacity stands at 92.4 percent of the 2025 level.
Around 3,500 rooms remain projected to be unavailable as the accommodation sector continues its recovery following Hurricane Melissa.
As a result, the Tourist Board says the overall airlift is adequate for expected hotel availability.
