Fly Jamaica Airways: New airline gets closer to launch
According to Tai, after the aircraft returns to Jamaica, they will be debriefed on the issues, if any.
The rigorous process of certification does not stop there as, upon the issuance of the licence, Fly Jamaica Airways has to prove ‘economic authority’, which is to show financial viability. The Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority have to ensure that the new airline, has the means to continue operating at a safe standard.
Fly Jamaica Airways plans to offer full service on the chosen routes between Jamaica, Guyana, Toronto and New York, which the airline believes will appeal to the Jamaican diaspora concentrated in these areas.
Fly Jamaica Airways will likely start with a three-on-three flight schedule to each destination, with one day downtime for maintenance.
The airline was set to begin operations in August, however, Tai said with the remaining processes it is likely to take another month before it officially takes to the skies.
