KINGSTON, Jamaica - TRINIDAD-BASED Caribbean Airlines (CAL) assumed responsibility for Air Jamaica flights as well as the right to use the Air Jamaica brand name in 2010. But it is clear that Jamaicans still have lingering sentiments about Air Jamaica, which have not been transferred to the new majority owners.
There is also resentment over the recent decision by CAL to reduce its flights to Jamaica and earlier claims that the airline has been dispensing with some, if not all, of its former Air Jamaica pilots.
Transport Minister Dr Omar Davies appears to have taken the issues sufficiently seriously to have asked a high-level team led by his Trinidad and Tobago counterpart to come to the island in a few weeks' time to discuss CAL's plans and actions with the Jamaican Government, the minor but important shareholder.
