Air Jamaica Calls Off St. Lucia Flights

Air Jamaica is suspending its current thrice weekly service to the island of St. Lucia, effective April 1.

Paul Pennicook, Air Jamaica’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales, explained that the carrier was forced to make the difficult decision because of its corporate restructuring, which entails streamlining and route rationalization.

“It is with a heavy heart that we have to suspend the St. Lucia service from both New York and Jamaica,” said Pennicook who explained that the decision is part of a new mandate from Kingston for Air Jamaica to become a leaner, more viable national carrier.
