Dublin Airport Launches New Jamaica and Mexico Services

Two new Dublin Airport direct summer services to Jamaica and Mexico have been launched by tour operator Falcon Holidays and Thomson, a member of TUI GROUP.

The first flight to Montego Bay in Jamaica took off yesterday (Sunday), while the inaugural service to the Mexican resort of Cancun departed this morning.

“We are delighted to welcome the launch of the Falcon and Thomson service to Cancun and Montego Bay,” said Dublin Airport Managing Director Vincent Harrison.

Falcon and Thomson will operate its new charter programme from Dublin with a Thomson Airways Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which includes Premium Club. Each route will operate weekly for six weeks.

“These new services offer significant additional choice for holiday-makers who want a long-haul break and want to fly direct non-stop from Dublin,” Mr Harrison added.

The addition of Mexico and Jamaica means that Dublin Airport will have 20 long-haul destinations this summer, with 17 destinations in the Americas and the Caribbean, two destinations in the Middle East and one in Africa.
