Fly Jamaica Airways cleared to fly
After nearly eleven months of arduous and painstaking evaluations and working tirelessly to meet the requirements of the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA), Fly Jamaica Airways can now officially take to the skies.
Fly Jamaica Airways were recently presented with their Air Operating Certificate (AOC), which means they now have the license to operate as an airline.
According to Director General of the JCAA, Lieutenant Colonel Oscar Derby, the major part of the process has been completed and the final demonstration conducted recently, brought all the elements that were tested before together.
Prior to the presentation of AOC certification the Boeing 757 aircraft came under heavy scrutiny and was thoroughly inspected to ensure that the required support systems and services were in place.
Fly Jamaica also had to conduct a demonstration flight to Guyana to show that they could operate as a normal commercial flight.
