Emirates Airline recently engaged in a significant dialogue with representatives from Jamaica's Ministry of Tourism at the Arabian Travel Market 2025. The meeting, held in Dubai, was attended by Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline & Group, alongside Adnan Kazim, Emirates' Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer.
The Jamaican delegation, led by The Honourable Edmund Bartlett, Minister of Tourism, discussed strategies to bolster Jamaica's tourism industry. The team also included Donovan G. White, Director of Tourism at the Jamaica Tourist Board, and Fiona Fennell, Public Relations and Communications Officer for the Board.
Key discussion points centered around boosting tourism flows through improved travel connectivity between the UAE and Jamaica. Emirates' codeshare agreement with Condor facilitates travelers from its network to connect to Jamaica through Frankfurt, making use of the streamlined service. Passengers can also reach Jamaica through interline flights with United via Chicago or Houston and Air Canada flights via Toronto. Emirates Skywards members benefit from earning and redeeming Miles on Condor-operated flights to Montego Bay.
