The airline we're looking for was not from North America or Europe. It probably wasn't Africa, either...

Well there aren't a lot of places left. Almost all tourism at Montego Bay is from North America and Europe, and if the flight is daily I'll guess it was headed elsewhere, with a stop here. Aero Peru had a number of Super DC8s at the time. Could we guess at them doing Miami-Montego Bay-Lima. Just a single daily flight though. Did they only serve it in one direction?

Good call, W. According to the schedule I have, the flight came up from Lima in the morning, stayed in MBJ and returned to Lima late afternoon. I don't have access to the relevant schedules at present, but as I recall the inbound from Lima departed at 7:30am, arriving MBJ about 1145am. Here's the southbound schedule returning to Lima.

AeroPeru PL 601 Montego Bay (MBJ) 530p-1000p Lima (LIM) D8S Daily
