Flights in and out of both international airports have been delayed due to protest action by air traffic controllers.
Air traffic controllers at the Norman Manley International and the Sangster International airport have been reporting sick since late Friday.
According to Director General of the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA), Nari Williams Singh, the protest has forced managers at the JCAA to man stations.
“We have implemented flow control procedures during this time where we have limited staff at the various positions. Flow control increases the spacing between aircraft to close the airspace
William Singh hopes that the concerns of the air traffic controllers will be aired at a meeting scheduled for Sunday .
He said the representatives of the JCAA will attend Sunday’s meeting.
