(Jamaica Observer) Caribbean Airlines saw its share of the US-Jamaica market plunge 27 per cent in 2013.
It meant that the Trinidad-based airline fell from the number two carrier of passengers to Jamaica, from the US, to number four.
In fact, Delta Airlines, with its 14.6 per cent market share, carried just 700, or three per cent less passengers than Caribbean.
The Atlanta-based carrier saw its passenger count grow by 29 per cent, or over 50,000 persons.
It increased the number of flights to the island by 31 per cent, particularly as it ramped up service to New York (from 40 flights in 2012 to 360 last year).
With the introduction of new Kingston flights in 2014, Delta likely surpassed Caribbean this year.
