Fly Jamaica to service Caribbean Airlines dropped routes

Just weeks after Caribbean Airlines (CAL) reduced some of its flights out of Jamaica, it has been announced that Fly Jamaica Airways is to service some of those dropped routes. Captain Lloyd Tai, Fly Jamaica’s chief operating officer, said from the end of this month the airline will be providing daily flights to and from New York. 

The airline currently operates four flights a week, including Sundays, out of the Norman Manley International Airport to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. 

Trinidad’s Guardian newspaper quoted Captain Tai as saying that in order to take on any additional routes; Fly Jamaica will first have to acquire another aircraft. This has been taking time as the airline is trying to obtain a plane that will be a sister ship to its Boeing 757 aircraft. 

Fly Jamaica Airways received its air-operating certificate last September from the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority. 

Last week the Guyana government announced that it had granted permission to the airline to operate out of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.
