Jamaica Observer
Air J cleared for take-off
Saturday, April 17, 2010
THE Air Jamaica deal with Caribbean Airlines seems set to take off again with the granting of a 60-day waiver by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) allowing the Lovebird to fly to that country when the Transitional Services Agreement (TSA) between both carriers comes into effect on April 30.
Read the whole article here.
Snippet(s):
"On March 24, Air Jamaica wrote to the DOT asking for permission to continue to operate on the terms of its existing authority during the six- to 12-month transition period expected under the divestment agreement with Caribbean Airlines.
Failing that permission, the airline asked the Americans for an urgent waiver of the DOT’s standard ownership and control policy, in order for it to maintain services for the one-year period under its TSA with the Trinidad-operated Caribbean Airlines.
In a statement issued yesterday, Henry explained that the waiver, which comes into effect on April 15, will allow for the Air Jamaica/Caribbean Airlines operation to be able to fly in and out of the US."
