(Jamaica Observer) KINGSTON, Jamaica — New local airline Fly Jamaica is scheduled have its inaugural flight Thursday morning.
The announcement, which comes after its first commercial flight was delayed nearly three weeks ago, was made on the airline’s Facebook page.
The flight is scheduled to leave the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston at 6:15am and arrive at the John F Kennedy terminal in New York, US at about 10:00am.
Initially the airline’s first flight was for January 25 but was postponed because of “booking issues on its website”.
“Technical problems threatened the scheduled launch of the site; the effect of which resulted in persons being unable to complete bookings”, the airline said last month.
The airline employs 80 people and operates a single Boeing 757-200 aircraft.
