Fly Jamaica acquires new aircraft

Apr 29, 2014 News

Just in time for the upcoming peak summer season, new comer Fly Jamaica is gearing to put a second plane into the skies.
As promised, the Jamaica-based carrier, owned by Guyanese and Jamaican entrepreneurs, has arranged for a second plane to join its fleet from early next month and with good timing, especially since it experienced problems with its B-757 that delayed passengers out of New York earlier this week.
Aircraft remarketing specialist Cabot Aviation has arranged for the acquisition of a Boeing 767-300ER for client Wings Aviation, the lesser to Fly Jamaica Airways. The aircraft, msn 24876, was acquired from the major leasing company in the US.
“We first worked with Wings Aviation Inc. in 2011 when they bought a B757-200ER from another Cabot client. That sale forged a good relationship leading to the purchase of this B767-300ER which will also be leased to Fly Jamaica Airways
The transaction went very smoothly and quickly due to the excellent teamwork between Wings Aviation, the seller’s aircraft remarketing group, and Cabot Aviation,” says Charley Cleaver, senior Vice President, Cabot Aviation.
Fly Jamaica has reported strong passenger support on its nonstop flights from Toronto to Georgetown since its start-up late last year and similarly, good news on its New York flights despite competition from Trinidadian carrier Caribbean Air and Travel Span.
Fly Jamaica Airways, a Jamaican flag carrier, operates scheduled and charter services between Georgetown, Guyana, Kingston, Jamaica, New York, USA and Toronto, Canada.
The B767-300ER will enable the airline to expand its international network.
The 747 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner that can seat 181 to 375 passengers depending on variance.
