Trade unions are reacting to a newspaper report that the national airline Air Jamaica has been sold.
 
Government this week received recommendations of a divestment committee, set up to sell the airline, but the news paper report today said the offer of the owners of spirit airlines has been accepted.
 
No announcement has come from the government.
 
Senior negotiating officer of the National Workers Union Granville Valentine says he is concerned that the unions were not informed about the sale of the airline.
 
He says there is a urgent need for a meeting with minister without portfolio in the finance ministry Senator Don Wehby who has the responsibility for the divestment of air Jamaica, before the sale of the airline is settled.
 
Air Jamaica owes billions of dollars in debt and the Bruce Golding administration put it as a priority to sell the airline.
