Rejected petition The high costs of Jamaican air fares

More details

This petition has been set as The Jamaican community are not happy as we are the only Caribbean island who has extortionate air fares, eg Barbados 500 and Jamaica 800 plus and this is due to the price increase in our airport tax. We want out airfares to be reduced and to be set too a reasonable price that we can afford!
