The New York Port Au­thor­i­ty an­nounced yes­ter­day the JFK In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port has re­sumed op­er­a­tions on a lim­it­ed ba­sis af­ter the dev­as­ta­tion of Hur­ri­cane Sandy. Head of com­mu­ni­ca­tions for Caribbean Air­lines (CAL) Clint Williams said yes­ter­day there were two flights out of Port-of-Spain to JFK but the air­line al­so had flights from Kingston, Ja­maica and George­town, Guyana, to JFK.

Call­ing on pas­sen­gers to be pa­tient, Williams said CAL al­ready had con­tact­ed those who had pre­vi­ous­ly bought tick­ets. He added: "CAL is do­ing every­thing it can to up­date pas­sen­gers and we have been very forth­com­ing with in­for­ma­tion and we will con­tin­ue to do so.

"We can on­ly do so much, based on the in­for­ma­tion we get, but in­for­ma­tion from the US al­so has been forth­com­ing." Asked whether there was a rush at Pi­ar­co Air­port yes­ter­day, Williams said when he vis­it­ed yes­ter­day morn­ing there was not any crowd want­i­ng to get to the US.

"Peo­ple were or­der­ly at the air­port. There was just the usu­al crowd. Every­thing was fine," he added. He said in the com­ing days in­ter­na­tion­al flights to JFK would be in­creased. "As JFK re­turns to full ca­pac­i­ty, flights will in­crease. It's just a mat­ter of time. So we just have to wait un­til we get word when that will hap­pen to alert cus­tomers," he said.

In an ad­vi­so­ry is­sued yes­ter­day, CAL said pas­sen­gers from dis­rupt­ed flights be­tween Oc­to­ber 28 to 30 were ex­pect­ed to be ac­com­mo­dat­ed on a re­vised sched­ule to­day.
