Michael Conway, the chief executive officer of Air Jamaica, says the national carrier must adapt to global changes in order to be more competitive and profitable.
"Air Jamaica needs to adopt its operations to effectively compete in the rapidly-changing airline environment. We must have an open mind to change and have the resolve to implement
change where required," Mr. Conway said.
He was responding to queries raised by readers in The Gleaner's latest feature, 'You Ask the Questions'.
He said while there are very few airlines in the world that are earning a profit, the airline has the potential to be a viable concern, but in order to achieve this it has to change the way it does business.
"Air Jamaica must optimise its geographic positioning as an ideal gateway throughout the Caribbean region, and as an ideal transit point between North and South America," he said.
