In what I find very surprising, AA is cutting JFK-Kingston service 1 February 2003. I find it surprising because the Caribbean market is hot right now. Now, I know Kingston, as opposed to Motego Bay, is a VFR market (needless to say, the only US cities with non-stops to Kingston are New York City, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami; the three largest Jamaican ex-pat communities), but I''m still surprised, especially since they are keeping JFK-Montego Bay, and Montego Bay is not as popular from New York City. Oh well...I''m sure there is a reason.
No more JFK-Kingston

VFR = Visiting Friends & Relatives
These flights require too much turn-time for aircraft due to DEA sweeps.
Use the aircraft on more profitable UAL shared routes. UAL must fold in order for AMR to have better yields. AMR needs to turn up the heat, while UAL is sidelined and distracted in BK court.
All suspect routes are under the microscope right now.

We've pulled nonstops on JFK-KIN for years, opting for the round-robin JFK-MBJ-KIN in slow season as far back as I can remember, but it looks like that's gone as well.

This is a seasonal drop only. Nonstops come back June 15 thru Sept 2.
