The management of Air Jamaica is denying swirling claims that the work visas of some of its crew members have not been renewed by the United States (US) authorities.

Speculation has been rife that the work visas of some Air Jamaica employees were rejected for renewal due to the extradition row between Jamaica and the US. However, Bruce Nobles, Chief Executive Officer of Air Jamaica, says there is no truth to the claims. Mr. Nobles told RJR News Monday night that apart from one minor incident involving the renewal of the work visa of one of the airline's pilots, he was not aware of any other problems. "We had one pilot whose crew visa was up for renewal and the US service wanted some clarification about his status going forward but that's it, I'm not aware of any other," he said.
