Fly Jamaica hits snag before take-off

Keisha Hill, Gleaner Writer

The much-anticipated departure of Fly Jamaica Airways from the Norman Manley International Airport to the John F. Kennedy Airport in New York on Friday, January 25 has hit a snag.

"We had received some approval but there were changes that had to be made and we are waiting on them (JFK) to come back to us," said Chief Operating Officer, Lloyd Tai.

Tai said the matter will be resolved shortly and the public will be informed of the new date that Fly Jamaica Airways will officially take to the skies.

Fly Jamaica Airways will initially fly to New York, and later to Toronto and Guyana.

Tai said the airline will offer convenient and reliable service aimed at meeting the needs of its clients especially those in the Jamaican diaspora.
