Despite a review ordered by Transport Minister Mike Henry
into the sale of Air Jamaica's
London route,
Virgin Atlantic is adamant that it will begin its flight schedule as planned on
October 30.
However, Mr. Henry is insisting that the route should be retained by Air Jamaica.
The Minister told our news centre Tuesday night that he is seeking legal advice on the sale agreement.
But Director of Communications for Virgin Atlantic, Paul Charles, says the airline has already received clearance to transport persons from Jamaica to the United Kingdom.
Mr. Charles says he believes a section of the agreement signed between the two airlines referred to as code sharing is causing a problem for the Government.
Landing gates and slots were sold for 5 million pounds in a deal signed between Air Jamaica and Virgin Atlantic earlier this year.
