American Airlines will offer three additional flights on July 2, 2024, from Jamaica to the United States as Hurricane Beryl pushes its way further into the Caribbean.
With the new flights added, the carrier will operate 14 flights from Jamaica to the United States in response to the hurricane, according to a report from Jamaica Observer.
The hurricane already made landfall on Grenada’s Carriacou Island as a Category 4 storm on Monday. At least three deaths have been attributed to the hurricane, which hit Grenada with 150-mile-per-hour winds, according to news reports.
The storm has since restrengthened and on Monday night it was labeled the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record.

A report by Reuters suggests that climate change is partially to blame for the severity of the storm so early in the Atlantic hurricane season, since Beryl had went from a Category 1 to a Category 4 hurricane in less than 10 hours due to warmer Atlantic water temperatures.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has said that Beryl is "expected to bring life-threatening winds and storm surge to Jamaica.”
Currently, according to NHC, a hurricane warning is in effect for Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac.
A hurricane watch, meanwhile, is in effect for the south coast of Haiti, from the border with the Dominican Republic to Anse d’ Hainault.
Several airports throughout the Caribbean have closed amid the record hurricane event.
American Airlines has said customers whose travel plans are impacted by the hurricane can re-book flights without incurring change fees. Passengers are invited to reschedule travel on AA.com or by calling reservation services for the airline at 800-433-7300 in the United States or Canada.
The additional flights that have been added by American Airlines are:
