Air Jamaica

Air Jamaica Express operate the Twin Otter, Shorts 360 and the Dornier 228.

Perhaps they had a brainwave. They borrowed a Trislander from Air Jamaica Express with no intention to return it and came to the conclusion that if they rubbed out Jamaica but kept the livery, they had an airline!

But looking at it, that’s incredibly tight!

Whats this site all about says that G-BIIP belongs to some airline called Air Express????

I also like the Air Jamaica colour scheme and on a overcast, murky day, it’s always nice to see an A343 of JM flying overhead, approaching Heathrow.

I didn’t get to experience their service when I travelled there last year, I’m sure I will one day though… 😎

They do, indeed, have fashion shows on their flights. Very NIIIIIICE to say the least! I flew them LAX-MBJ back in ’97. Their fleet is rather impressive and has grown steadily. 6 years ago, they had had 6 A310’s, 4 A320’s, 2 727’s, 2 MD80’s and a couple prop job’s. Their remaining A310’s aren’t that old. They were leasing them from Delta, and can’t be more than 15 years old. Rather young for an airframe, in my opinion.

That Islander was down here with Le Cocqs a while back. Airline is expanding so quickly that it is taking whatever aircraft it can get its hands on.

I love the colour scheme. really tropical. I heard they have fashion shows opn Air Jamiaca

They used to have this Islander, now based at GLA with Loganair/Scottish Air Ambulance and in those fantastic colours.

but an aircraft never gets old.

Thanks again. I thought the A310’s were a little old

Today they operate:

4 A310
10 A320
3 A321
3 A340

A310 will be phased out by 2004 a replaced with a mix of A320 -A321

Thanks for your help. I knew they had airbus 340’s, but not namy of them. Do they plan to retire their Airbus 310 fleet

If you have Airliner World issues from a few months ago (maybe even longer), they did do a feature on Air Jamaica in one issue and then Sangster International Airport (Montego Bay) about three months later.

Perhaps that will reveal the fleet. My copies are not accessible at the moment unfortunately.

They have lots and lots of A321s as I saw when I was out there.

The A340s fly to London Heathrow, Manchester and John F Kennedy.

But I’ve searched for you and can’t see a thing on the Internet with regard to registrations etc.

3 A340s
2 A310s
few Twin otters

this just from top of my ehad.
