“We are really excited to make this announcement. I just want to say thank you to the Deputy Mayor [Councillor Richard Vernon] , to the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB), and the Port Authority,” Mr. Evans said.
“Everyone has welcomed us with open arms. The love that you give us, it is truly ‘one love Jamaica’ and I know that’s how we feel, and I know that everyone at headquarters in Denver are very excited, and we look forward to just huge growth and opportunity well into the future,” he added.

“We are grateful that you have chosen Montego Bay, and I welcome you again. I want to say that Montego Bay is at a place where it is expanding, and we value our transportation sector, especially when we are talking about the flights and Montego Bay becoming a hub. We really want to reach to that place. That is why our team has worked so hard to extend its footprints across the world,” Councillor Vernon added.
For her part, Regional Manager at the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB), Odette Dyer, said the new announcement was exciting and is “a plus for destination Jamaica. It augurs very well for the island”.
