Since a plane incident in November 2017 when the lone operational Fly Jamaica airplane \u2013 a Boeing 757 en route to Toronto from Guyana \u2013 skidded off the runway as the pilot attempted an emergency landing at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, the damaged plane has been languishing at a remote \u00adsection of the airfield.<\/p>\n<p>Prospective buyers of the airline, headed by French acquisition and diversified firm W&amp;L SAS, initially said they planned to get the airline flying again by September, which appeared to be a long shot, given that approvals were needed from the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority to achieve that goal.<\/p>\n<p>That deal is no longer in play.<\/p>\n<p>Murdock says Reece contacted the team at PwC to say that the prospective buyers were having difficulties completing the \u00adtransaction, and that Fly Jamaica\u2019s debts were piling up in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey weren\u2019t operating so there was no revenue coming in; so they needed some time to put together a proposal,\u201d Murdock said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince they had the accident in Guyana they had a class action suit that was about to be filed against them, so they realised that they needed the time to get something done,\u201d he said of the urgency.<\/p>\n<p>Murdock says if things were allowed to progress, the value residing in the company would likely continue to erode to the detriment of some creditors, when the holdings were eventually liquidated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost likely, the creditors would end up getting less than they would get that if the company had time to put together a proposal which would likely include finding new investors to pump some funds into the company,\u201d Murdock said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecognising that they needed that time to put together that \u00adproposal \u2013 and they asked us to act as trustees \u2013 our role is really to guide in helping them to prepare the proposal and to assist them when they have to negotiate with investors,\u201d Murdock said.<\/p>\n<p>He adds that if the airline is to fly again, it will need new capital injection.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-3583802472\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Troubled airline Fly Jamaica is seeking protection from creditors as it tries to restructure and stay in business or explore other options, such as a sale.
