More than 20 cargo flights are expected as relief pours into Jamaica from across the world following Hurricane Melissa, Transport Minister Daryl Vaz said Friday. He said that the biggest challenge now is managing logistics to reach the worst-affected areas.
Vaz also confirmed that eight to 10 US helicopters are en route to support relief efforts. He said Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, which sustained more damage of all the airports due to its proximity to the hurricane’s path, will resume commercial flights on Saturday to facilitate the departure of tourists.
