Back In The Air After Hurricane Ivan

Air Jamaica returned to the air Sunday, resuming air passenger service to and from Jamaica following the passing of Hurricane Ivan. All Air Jamaica service to and from Jamaica had been suspended for two days on Friday and Saturday.

"Whether it was divine intervention, steering currents in the atmosphere, or just plain luck, we're incredibly grateful that Jamaica did not suffer a direct hit from Hurricane Ivan," said Michael G. Going, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Air Jamaica, "At the same time, we realize that some restoration and recovery is necessary. Air Jamaica is proud to take a leadership role in this effort with the first passenger flights back to the island. We are also working with the Jamaican Consulate to ensure that relief supplies get to the island as quickly as possible."

The resumption of Air Jamaica flights to Jamaica was subject to the re-opening of Norman Manley Airport in Kingston and Sangster Airport in Montego Bay. Passengers were being advised to call Air Jamaica Reservations for updated information prior to departure.
