A full investigation with a view of action being taken, where appropriate, is to be conducted into the temporary closure of the runway at the Donald Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, St. James.
Transport Minister Daryl Vaz said no effort will be spared, to ensure that this mishap does not recur.
Yesterday’s closure of the runway, resulted in over 50 flights being impacted, with delays, diversions and cancellations.
Mr. Vaz expressed discontent with the closure.
He has instructed that MBJ Airports Limited, Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority and the Airports Authority of Jamaica, each provide a detailed report of the series of events, which resulted in several delayed and cancelled flights.
In a statement last evening, the Transport Ministry outlined that the closure was due to inclement weather, which affected upgrading work being carried out at the airport, as well as equipment failure.
