KINGSTON - The Cheddi Jagan International Airport Corporation (CJIAC) has raked in over one billion dollar in revenue for 2013, according to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ramesh Ghir at a press conference held this afternoon, January 31, 2014 at Minister Robeson Benn’s office.
The presser was to allow the Minister and heads of agencies/departments to give an overview of 2013 and projections for 2014.
Aerodrome Charges and Concession amounted to nearly 40 percent of the Timehri facility’s $1,077,314,910 purse. Rounding up the list are Taxi, Red Caps and Car Park fees, Fuel Dispensary and Land Lease.
The financial performance came as no surprise since three airlines – Travel Span, Fly Jamaica and CONVIASA - have begun operations during the latter part of the year.
“Delta pulling out was a blow to us but we are making a slow recovery,” Mr. Ghir stated. However, he is optimistic that in 2014 the Corporation’s performance will “be exceptional.”
