Captain Russell Capleton, former President of the Jamaica Airline Pilots Association (JALPA) has died.

Captain Capleton, who was JALPA's spokesman, died in the Andrews Memorial Hospital early Wednesday morning from a reported heart attack.

He was at the forefront of the Association's fight to acquire Air Jamaica before the ‘Love Bird' was divested to Trinidad and Tobago's national carrier, Caribbean Airlines.
