Air Jamaica’s superior service is ranked among the best in the world and the airline has won such accolades as the Five Star Diamond Award (five straight years) a distinction that ranks it among the top airlines of the world. Air Jamaica has been named “Best Airline to the Caribbean” by the World Travel Awards for the seventh consecutive year. Air Jamaica is a major contributor to the economy of Jamaica. It provides support to the country’s number one foreign exchange earner, the tourism industry, as well as to the productive sector. Air Jamaica HistoryAir Jamaica began operations in 1966 as the first Jamaican based international airline. It was governed by a tripartite agreement between the Government of Jamaica, BWIA, and BOAC (now British Airways). However, on April 1, 1969, Air Jamaica Limited was born with the Government of Jamaica holding majority shares in the airline. Air Canada held a minority interest and provided equipment, technology, training, pilots, and some top management. Then in 1984, the Jamaican Government acquired the airline through a “buy back” agreement with Air Canada. Ten years later, in 1994, the Government of Jamaica embarked on a privatization exercise. The Gordon “Butch” Stewart led Air Jamaica Acquisition Group (AJAG) acquired majority ownership of the national airline with the government retaining a minority stake. In 2004, after severe turbulence in the airline industry and massive financial losses, the Government of Jamaica reclaimed full control of the airline. Air Jamaica now provides more non-stop flights from its North American gateways to the Caribbean than any other carrier serving the region. Air Jamaica websiteThe official Air Jamaica website
