Fly Jamaica CE defends airline, following protest

Fly Jamaica Airlines has again come under heavy public scrutiny following an early morning protest at Norman Manley International in Kingston Saturday. The protest was sparked by passengers who were left fuming after their Fly Jamaica flight to New York was delayed again. The passengers, who were to leave the island from Thursday, could be heard chanting, “we want justice,” as the flight which was set for Saturday morning was delayed until 3:00 pm. Fly Jamaica CE Paul Reece dismissed the claim that the flight was scheduled to leave Thursday. “That is not true. The airplane was rented from National Airlines to move the passengers and they behaved in a disorderly manner. They threatened the crew last night and the crew said they are going home,” said Reece. <br/>
