On the basis of this experience Government decided to tclm s teps to create an organisation to replace Air Jamaica Ltd. that could be tr~ly said to be the national airline of Jamaica being one uhich is substantially o1med and effectively controlled by Jacaican nationals. 5. A Committee was, therefore, appointed last year by the Govern- ment to study the futu r e of Air JB.!!1aica Ltd , The Col!lJ:lli ttee received and examined proposals from five groups . BOAC did not submit proposals for continued participation. BWIA uas indire ctly related to a joint proposal received from one group. An experienced Airline Consultant was engaged to evaluate t hese proposals and to advise t J1e Committee. He submitted reports on the rna tter. The criteria used by t l e Cor:J.u.1i tt ee in examining the proposals were (a) that the partner or partners must. be a minority sbarGholder in the Conpany, (b) that sufficient capita l would be provided to enable the Company to obtain its o ~m aircraft and spare s, (c) that the partner had sufficient experience in this specialised fie ld to provide expert lmm,rledr?,·e and back-up sorviqes, and (d) that the participant had a comprehensive sales organisation in all principal travel markets affecting Jamaica. 6. After extensive and de t a iled negotiations t ~c Airline Policy Committee submitted a Report to tho Govomnont \-rhich subsequently authorised the Coonitteo to enter into further dGtai1ed negotiations v-rith Air Canada on the be..sis of t heir presentation.

  • Air Jamaica Report
    OFFICE OF THE CONTRACTOR GENERAL Special Report of Investigation and Monitoring Conducted into the Procurement Practices of Air Jamaica Limited (Formerly) Ministry of Finance and Planning EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The investigation into the Procurement and Contract award practices of Air Jamaica Limited was initiated by the Office of the Contractor General (OCG) on 2006 May 23. On 2006 May 16, the Office of the Contractor General received a letter from Mrs. Sharon Weber, who wrote on behalf of the Financial Secretary in the Ministry of Finance and Planning. The letter confirmed that Air Jamaica Limited was a Public Body by virtue of the Government’s one hundred percent (100%) ownership as stipulated by Part 1 (Section 2) of the Public Bodies Management and Accountability Act, 2001. Air Jamaica Limited has been through ownership changes over the last 15 years. Most recently - in 2004 December - the airline was reacquired by the Government of Jamaica following almost a decade of privately managed operations. Consequently, Air Jamaica Limited, as of 2004 December, is deemed to be a ‘public body’ as defined within the Contractor General Act (1983) and is required to adhere to the Government Procurement Guidelines. The investigation of the entity focused primarily on procurement activities between May 2005 and August 2008 and incorporated the OCG’s monitoring of the airline’s procurement activities up to, and including, August 2008. The period under review commences approximately six months after Air Jamaica Limited returned to the ambits of government control. It is perceived that this period should have provided the agency with some amount of __________________________________________________________________________________________ Air Jamaica Investigation Office of the Contractor-General 2008 September Page 1 of 33 time to acclimatize itself with stipulated government policies, thereby effecting a smooth transition from a private to a public entity as it relates to procurement practices.

As a start the paper has to understand the level of need for efficient air transport services in the CARICOM Region (Region). THE AIR TRANSPORT IMPERATIVE The paper recognises that CARICOM is: • a grouping of small sovereign countries, mainly islands with small populations and open economies, that rarely enjoy economies of scale • characterised by separation by water which seems to negatively impact cooperative attitudes and behaviour • a large geographic area; the distance between Suriname in South America and Belize in Central America is c.a. 2081 nautical miles or a flying time of c.a. 4hrs 20mins by jet aircraft. • regularly afflicted by hurricanes that adversely impact infrastructure, primary industries (tourism and agriculture) and already limited government resources • is heavily dependent upon air transport as the Year 2007 visitor arrival statistics in Appendix A show • in the early stages of implementing the CARICOM Single Market (CSM) aspect of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) which forms the central theme of the 2001 CARICOM Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas.

  • Analysis of the Interaction Between Air Transportation and Economic Activity: a Worldwide Perspective
    ANALYSIS OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN AIR TRANSPORTATION AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITY: A WORLDWIDE PERSPECTIVE Mariya A. Ishutkina and R. John Hansman This report is based on the Doctoral Dissertation of Mariya A. Ishutkina submitted to the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The work presented in this report was also conducted in collaboration with the members of the Doctoral Committee: Prof. R. John Hansman (Chair) Prof. John D. Sterman Prof. Ian A. Waitz Report No. ICAT-2009-2 March 2009 MIT International Center for Air Transportation (ICAT) Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA 02139 USA Analysis of the Interaction Between Air Transportation and Economic Activity: A Worldwide Perspective by Mariya A. Ishutkina Submitted to the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics on March 11, 2009, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract Air transportation usage and economic activity are interdependent. Air transportation provides employment and enables certain economic activities which are dependent on the availability of air transportation services. The economy, in turn, drives the demand for air transportation services resulting in the feedback relationship between the two. The objective of this work is to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between air transportation and economic activity. More specifically, this work seeks to (1) develop a feedback model to describe the relationship between air transportation and economic activity and (2) identify factors which stimulate or suppress air transportation development. To achieve these objectives this work uses an exploratory research method which combines literature review, aggregate data and case study analyses.

  • STATEMENT by the PRIME MINISTER, HON BRUCE GOLDING RESPONSE to EARTHQUAKE TRAGEDY in HAITI in the HOUSES of PARLIAMENT Tuesday, January 19, 2010
    STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER, HON BRUCE GOLDING RESPONSE TO EARTHQUAKE TRAGEDY IN HAITI IN THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT Tuesday, January 19, 2010 Jamaica, as, indeed, people throughout the world, were horrified by the terrible tragedy that befell the people of Haiti following the massive earthquake last Tuesday. Television coverage of the aftermath, the collapsed buildings, the dead bodies lying amidst the rubble, the frantic efforts to reach those still trapped beneath tons of concrete, the agony on the faces of the thousands who have lost loved ones, who writhe in pain from their injuries, not knowing when they will be attended to, whose houses have been destroyed and who have gone for days without food and water, tell the grim tale of the extent of the suffering of a people who have experienced so much human tragedy in their lives but never anything of this magnitude. The authorities have been forced to bury the dead in hurriedly-dug mass graves without identification or even photographs. Many Haitians will never be able to bring closure to their grief; they will never know with certainty what happened to their mothers and fathers, their sons and daughters, brothers and sisters. Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive told me last Thursday that so far they had been forced to bury 7,000 people in this unceremonious way. It is reported that by Sunday, that number had risen to 70,000! The final death toll, still unknown, is likely to be considerably more than that. The response of the international community has been swift and strong.

  • Caribbean Airlines Takes Delivery of Its First ATR 72-600
    Toulouse, 9 November 2011 Caribbean Airlines takes delivery of its first ATR 72-600 Trinidad and Tobago’s national flag carrier will start replacing its ageing fleet of Bombardier Q-300s and adding frequencies, routes and passenger capacity Caribbean Airlines today took delivery in Toulouse of its first ATR 72-600 aircraft. The Port-of-Spain-based carrier, which becomes one of the very first operators of the new ‘ATR -600 series’, booked earlier this year a US$ 200 million-valued contract for the purchase of a total of 9 of these aircraft. The aircraft are configured with 68 seats and equipped with the new ATR -600s standards of comfort, including In-Flight Entertainment. With this new ATR 72-600 delivered today, Caribbean Airlines will start replacing its fleet of five 50-seat Q-300s and introducing newest and most technologically advanced turboprops into its domestic routes. The airline will also add passenger capacity and develop new routes and frequencies within Trinidad and Tobago. Caribbean Airlines will also operate some of its new ATR 72-600s in the domestic route network of Air Jamaica, which was recently acquired by Trinidad and Tobago’s flag carrier. ATR is well established in the Latin American and Caribbean region, with some 140 aircraft in operation, plus more than 60 on order. Commenting on today’s first delivery, Robert Corbie, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Caribbean Airlines declared: “The introduction of this very first ATR 72-600 aircraft marks a real milestone in our national aviation. It represents the arrival of the most modern and cost-efficient regional turboprop aircraft into our country.

  • BACKGROUND Delta Airlines Is an Innovative, Creative Company and a Well-Established and Res Pected Airline
    BACKGROUND Delta Airlines is an innovative, creative company and a well-established and res pected airline. It is also the oldest and largest air passenger carrier in the w orld as at September 2009, after acquiring NorthWest Airlines. Since its incepti on in 1928 Delta has built a reputation of offering consistent superior customer service to its passengers. For four decades, Delta held the reputation of being the most consistently profitable airline, however with the US Federal Airline D eregulation Act of 1978, coupled with the recession of early 1980s saw the Airli ne suffering its first financial loss in the early 1980s. The company however managed to turn the defeat around and was again profitable w ell into the 1990s. Delta constantly faced challenges - economic downturns, comp etition from low cost carriers (domestic) and other international airlines compe ting for US international travellers. By the time Delta entered the 21st century it was faced with new challenges; such as the crippling of the airline industry in 2001 - a direct result of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, the const antly rising fuel prices, and the economic downturn in 2009. Delta eventually fi led for bankruptcy in 2005, when it was no longer able to meet its financial obl igations. Industry analysts typify the airline industry as unattractive, unstable and cycl ical in nature. Delta operates in an intensely competitive environment, which is still struggling to recover from the most recent recession. Efforts to compete with low cost carriers have not met with expectations. A pioneer of the hub and spoke model which it uses to map its destinations, Delta‘s competitive edge is bei ng the airline of choice for international travel.

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS INVOLVING FOREIGN AIRLINES: A REVIEW OF THE POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD* By BURTON A. LANDYt I. INTRODUCTION T RADITIONALLY, the airline industry has been highly individualistic. Today's air carriers, almost without exception, are the product of these individualistic pioneering efforts. Yet, during the current decade, there has been a notable trend "to band together" rather than the tradi- tional "go it alone" approach. A manifestation of this trend to join up was the merger movement of the early 1960's. This characteristic was due in large part to the poor financial condition of many of the airlines. As the jet transition took place and the financial health of the airlines improved, the merger wave subsided for a time, and the airlines seemed to return to their usual, independent way of doing business.
