Ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines is scrapping its nonstop service to Jamaica from Bradley International Airport just six months after it launched the route with much fanfare.
The airline today said it will end its nonstop flight to Montego Bay as of June 6.
Spirit spokesman Michael Lopardi said the company had to make the difficult decision to discontinue the route because of lower-than-expected demand.
Lopardi says refunds have been provided to passengers whose flights were cancelled.
Spirit's launch of a nonstop flight to Montego Bay capped a 15-year grassroots push for the service by the Hartford area's Caribbean community, the fifth largest in the United States.
