The IAM Jet Centre replied advising of the requirements for a permit to be issued and was not responded to. Therefore, no permit to land in Jamaica was granted,” Vaz said in an update Monday evening. However, the transport minister said, despite a permit not being issued, the plane made two trips to the island since the passage of Hurricane Melissa. “We were advised by the Civil Aviation Authority through their Navigational Service Division that there was a flight that took off out of Florida this morning that crashed. We have no details on the pilot or passenger or cargo at this point, but we can confirm that the applicant would have done two trips to Jamaica through Cayman to Jamaica since Melissa. We await further information from the US authorities,” Vaz said.
