KINGSTON, Jamaica, Observer - CARIBBEAN Airlines' decision to cut back on the number of flights to Jamaica is being seen by the Jamaican Airline Pilots' Association (JALPA) as a first step towards pulling out of Jamaica.
For several weeks it was rumoured that Caribbean Airlines (CAL) had planned to reduce flights to Jamaica, and on Tuesday, during a sitting of Parliament's Standing Finance Committee, Transport Minister Dr Omar Davies said that no information was forthcoming from CAL.

However yesterday, head of communications at CAL, Clint Williams, told Radio Jamaica in an interview that the decision had been made to reduce the flights effective April 16.
