The United Kingdom
based Virgin Atlantic Airways is Tuesday scheduled to start flying to Jamaica
under the controversial agreement brokered by the former Government.
Flights are going ahead despite an ongoing review ordered by the Bruce Golding administration of Virgin Atlantic's purchase of Air Jamaica's London route.
The Government is insisting that the route should be retained by Air Jamaica and has sought legal advice on the sale agreement.
Earlier this month, Virgin Atlantic said it had received clearance to transport persons from Jamaica to the United Kingdom and would proceed with its code sharing arrangement.
Executive Chairman of Air Jamaica, Shirley Williams, says for the time being the national airline will abide by the agreement.
Air Jamaica's landing gates and slots in London were sold for 5 million pounds in a deal signed between Air Jamaica and Virgin Atlantic this year.
