Jamaica�s national airline carrier, Air Jamaica has its sights set on the Cayman Islands promising less delays among other services it plans on improving.

Speaking at an award ceremony for travel agents at the Marriott Hotel in George Town recently, Charles Spence, Air Jamaica�s Regional Director Sales Jamaica/Caribbean said that Air Jamaica is coming to Cayman with an improved service.

So far, the airline has been advertising heavily in the local media and hired a manager to oversee operations here.

Mr Spence said that there would be fewer delays, as the company has all its 15 aeroplanes in service.

He said the entire complement of planes is back in service so consumers will see an improvement in the service.

Speaking before a gathering of travel agency managers and owners, Mr Spence said that Air Jamaica is willing to work with travel agencies.

�Don�t hesitate to call us if you have a promotion going on. Air Jamaica will support your venture,� he pointed out.

Mr Spence encouraged travel agency owners to use the Internet as a tool to make their trade more efficient.

�There are a lot of agencies that are using the Internet,� he added.

�You must not look at it as something that will kill your business look at it as a way in which you can extend your business: create your own websites, put yourselves out there and see if you can get into the global market.�

Meanwhile, Air Jamaica awarded several travel agencies for their hard work in the field. Top Sellers 3rd place Director�s Award went to Travel Pros-Omni Travel. Second Place the Vice President�s Award Cayman Tours and 1st Place Chairman�s Award went to Cayman Travel Services.

Other major award was the Sales Appreciation award, which went to the International Travel of Grand Cayman, Adventure Travel, Brac International Travel, and International Travel of Grand Cayman-Grand Pavillion Branch.
