Two bid for airline
Two offers have been made for Air Jamaica, a government minister has said.
Minister in the ministry of finance Don Wehby said he could not disclose any further specifics, citing ongoing negotiations for the sale of the cash-strapped national carrier.
The government recently extended its deadline for privatising Air Jamaica to 30 June.
In recent months, the airline has slashed dozens of jobs and eliminated routes aimed at making the ailing carrier profitable.

He was responding to a picket of police headquarters in Kingstown by two dozen people who alleged that the police were abusing their authority.

He said that the police had a difficult job but this couldn’t justify excessive force.
