Our airport terminals in Kingston and Montego Bay have remained closed since the weekend, and we are currently assessing the damage to restore operations as soon as conditions allow. Our entire team is fully committed to safely reopening the airports so that they may serve as a gateway for humanitarian aid. We remain in constant communication with local authorities and emergency agencies to follow their guidance and support the recovery of airport infrastructure. Our mission is to serve as a key point for the island’s recovery.”
