Air Jamaica winds down

Permalink  

Image On Friday morning Air Jamaica will begin terminating the services of all its 1,600 employees ahead of its sale to Trinidad's Caribbean Airlines.


US$24 million or a little over JA$2 billion in redundancy benefits and other entitlements will be disbursed.

It is expected that about 1,000 of the displaced workers will be given jobs with Caribbean Airlines during the transition period which is expected to last for up 12 months.

Among the workers who will be rehired are 200 members of the flight team as well as ground and maintenance staff.

Air Jamaica President, Bruce Nobles, expects Friday's exercise will proceed smoothly.

"We have sent out a message...basically saying if you have received an offer of employment for the transition operation going forward, you go to your normal department and your redundancy payments and so forth will be there. If you have not received an offer of employment there is a specific location to go to," Mr. Nobles said.

The Air Jamaica President says special stations have been set up to deal with all the workers' queries about the redundancy exercise.

"And again that depends on where you are, Montego Bay, Kingston, United States, Toronto...so we have set up specific locations for people to go to receive their redundancy payments and a different location for the redundancy payments and going forward with the transition company," he said.

Hassle-free

And unions representing Air Jamaica workers say they also expect the redundancy exercise will be hassle-free.

President-General of the Bustamante Industrial Trade Union (BITU) Kavan Gayle spoke with our news centre on Thursday night.

"All is on track in terms of the payment, the only concern there was was in respect to the employees in Montego Bay they were unaware as to where exactly to go to pick up their cheque. But in so far as we are concerned all is on track. Payments should be made commencing at 9am at the respective areas," Mr. Gayle said.
