KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jul 19 2015 – Flights in and out of both international airports have been delayed due to protest action by air traffic controllers.
Air traffic controllers at the Norman Manley International and the Sangster international have been reporting sick since late Friday.
Director General of the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA), Nari Williams Singh, said the protest has forced managers at the JCAA to man stations.
“We have implemented flow control procedures during this time where we have limited staff at the various positions. Flow control increases the spacing between aircraft to close the airspace.”
