Special Ribbon Cutting Celebration at New York’s JFK Airport and Welcome Celebration in Grenada

MIAMI – Air Jamaica is celebrating 10 years of service to Grenada, and marked this important milestone with festivities in both New York and Grenada on yesterday and Tuesday.

Air Jamaica representatives, along with Grenada’s Consul General Hon. Derrick James, kicked off the celebration with a gate-side ribbon cutting ceremony last night at New York’s JFK Airport, Terminal 4, just before the anniversary flight departed for Grenada.

“The New York/Grenada route continues to be very important to the airline, and we are confident that travelers will continue to choose Air Jamaica as their preferred carrier to the Spice Island,” said William Rodgers, Air Jamaica’s Senior Director, Government & Community Affairs. “We are proud to celebrate our relationship with the Government and the people of Grenada, and look forward to another 10 years serving the destination.”

Air Jamaica’s Manager, Community & Special Market Sales, N. E. Ann Marie Francis and Grenada’s Consul General Hon. Derrick James were on hand to officially mark this milestone as passengers and guests of Air Jamaica enjoyed celebratory cake and refreshments on departure from New York, special raffle drawings during flight and a welcome ceremony upon landing in Grenada.

Passengers on the return flight from Grenada to New York also enjoyed airport festivities before departing Grenada, and in-flight drawings as the celebration continued back to New York.

Air Jamaica currently flies between New York and Grenada on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The airline will add a Friday flight beginning June 26, and starting July 13 the airline adds a Monday flight, for a total of 4 weekly flights through the summer travel season.
