Air Jamaica deal recreates problems says Rowley

Opposition Leader Dr keith Rowley has said the government's plan purchase of Air Jamaica will be the recreation of a problem that has already been solved.
Rowley, speaking at a town meeting in Sangre Grande last night, said for years BWIA had been a drain on this country's treasury.
He said this problem was rectified with the restructuring of BWIA into Caribbean Airlines.
Rowley said Caribbean Airlines has been financially viable for the past four years but this is now in jeopardy with the proposed merger of Air Jamaica.
Rowley said the merger was effectively reverting the now profitable national carrier to a burden on the treasury.
