Air Jamaica slogan: losing 150 million

Problems with Air Jamaica. The Jamaican government says it cannot afford to maintain the

airline and has been trying to sell it for two years. Prime Minister said the airline is

losing $150 million annually.
The Jamaican airline has laid off nearly 500 people since January, when it also eliminated

routes to Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles and closed offices in those cities. We hope a quick

solution, remember the old Air Jamaica slogan ” Jamaica In The Air” ? .. Used in the 1970s

to promote tourism…
