» Air Jamaica History
Air 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 Air Jamaica. Businessman, O.K. Melhado is chairman of the board and veteran airline executive, Mike Conway is the president and CEO.
