PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – Jamaica’s Prime Minister, Portia Simpson-Miller, has said the relationship between Caribbean Airlines Ltd (CAL) and the carrier it acquired in 2011, Air Jamaica, is a “great cause of concern for the Jamaican people”. Simpson-Miller made the comment while speaking to reporters yesterday at the Hilton Trinidad and Conference Centre, St Ann’s, in response to questions on the issue. Finance Minister Larry Howai said in the Senate last month that CAL’s estimated losses for 2012 were US$70 million, of which US$32 million was identified as losses on Air Jamaica’s routes.
