Payments to American Airlines less than projected
Friday, 15 January 2010
Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett has highlighted that payments that could go to American Airlines under the pay to fly deal signed almost two years ago will be less than has been set aside to meet the payments.

After American Airlines in 2008 indicated it will stop flying from Miami, Chicago and Dallas into Jamaica because the routes were unprofitable, the Government stepped in offering a one and a half million U.S. dollar revenue guarantee for each of the routes if flights had passenger loads below 70%.

But performance on the Chicago route has been above expectations, and that means no payments will be made to American for flying from Chicago which means the money goes back to the government.

He revealed that this means that only US$3 million is exposed to the American pay-to-fly deal.

Mr. Bartlett was not able to say how much would be paid in the plan

It is the normal business principle used in all other tourist areas. Bermuda pay to guarantee seats.

paid British Airways, It is not so unusual in other countries.

It's just that you are not aware if it. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Tuff Gong</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Dr.Dudd</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Man you sure love to call to replace those you don't like?/

Years ago AA was doing some cost cutting. They went as far as putting the Guard Dog on part time! Airlines are hard to operate!

Of course I am aware of code share but this agreement was out of panic. For years Butch Stewart and the Comrades argument was if we get rid of Air Jamaica we will lose 100% of our Airlift.
This agreement was suppose to insure us against that is it was thought that AA with the seal of GOJ would run every route into Jamaica and a code share would pay off.

Folks looking on from the outside said it was unfeasible, apparently this cat is too close to Butch Stewart's kitchen and will spend every bit of the lkkle tourism earnings to pacify him.
He needs to go.

Agree, he is definitely in SOMEONE'S pocket, logically could be this Butch Steward who seems to use Jamaica and it's politicians as his play tools.
Others include: I totally don't trust is the Samuda fellow. And though not in current govn'mt - that Thwaites...seems to revel in spreading ignorance.

Re: ah sah Payments to American Airlines less than projected

This is different from code-share. Code-share is done between airlines,not government and airline. What they do is what every large tourist destination that is trying to drive business, or maintain business to their destination do.

It is called Airlift Guarantee.
where airline will market the destination and guarantee a certain number of flights even if some are uneconomical. for the airline.
the basis that the destination will make enough off the passengers, to make up for the payment to the airlines for theor losses.
Code share is wher airlines sell tickets, and if they don;t get a full or economical load, they are allowed to place their passengers on the other airline's craft if space allow.
then they share the cost. or exchange the loads.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Tuff Gong</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Dr.Dudd</div><div class="ubbcode-body">It is the normal business principle used in all other tourist areas.
