The temporary suspension placed on cargo operations from Jamaica to Canada and the Bahamas has been lifted. The Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA) says the lifting of the suspension means that cargo and duty free items will now be allowed to leave Jamaica for these two countries.However, the ban on cargo from Jamaica to the United States remains in effect until further notice.The United States Transport Security Administration (TSA) imposed the ban Sunday night after it received a threat that an explosive device could be placed on a flight from Jamaica.The ban was expanded to include the transportation of cargo to Canada and the Bahamas as these flights utilize US airspace.TSA and JCAA officials along with the police met on Monday to discuss the matter and following that meeting, Lieutenant Colonel Oscar Derby, Director-General of the JCAA, told RJR News that he was preparing a report to send to the Transport and Works Minister Mike Henry."We are keeping our fingers crossed that we will be able to resolve the matter and return to normality hopefully by sometime (on Wednesday)," Colonel Derby said.
