This video is very misleading

Mind your own personal business and over 300 years of colonial robbery

COVID shut down tourism. Jamaica gov needs to search around offshore Jamaica for oil and gas. And hopefully the people gets the benefits of it and not outsiders like bauxite minerals.

Daily coming in December also other air is coming too these white nuh want Jamaica fi develope we must remain repling on them😊

British philosophy

I welcome the Airport. At least we get something that better than nothing

That LITTLE airport was built in the early 1950s. There is no more land space to expand

It’s not hard to see that you are. PNP supporter, but after 18 straight years in office show me their achievements beyond the Old Harbour and the North south High way.

Doc, are you a Jamaican, if not do not use Jamaica to shore up your blogs and make your money. It would be best if you are not a Jamaican to delve into your own country politics or probably you are afraid of some back lash from your own Government.

The PNP is so nasty

What is the point of building an airport which accommodates only small-sized planes from only one part of one country? Which means they're not making back the money they spent to build and upgrade the airport. Who are the organisers and planners? Waste of money. Just to say there is a third airport in Ochi Rios. This proves that Jamaica does not need another airport. Even when Canada starts flights there they're still losing. Jamaica won't make back the money neither the airport cannot self sustained itself. Jamaica do not need anymore airport. Two are enough.

Thats a question i have seriously been asking jamaicans should not be struggling to find work for a country that has billions of dollars rich in resources where is the tourism money ... They keep pushing more and more luxury hotels and accomodations for the rich when jamaicans has no access to their beach follow the money trail.. Jamaicans need to wake up they are not holding their government accountable enough it starts with protest ,stop voting for those self interest weak leaders that's why in Saint Lucia we do not keep politicians in power very long once you not serving our interest you out ..

It simply means they had not done a proper research to facilitate the bigger airlines...therfore one can say this was formulated by the business men and the prime minister approved then sign the planning application, applying tax payers money for funding. It belongs to Jamaica, not like the other 2 airports leased out for 25 more years to Canada....is Canadian money involved? We are a resilient people and we shall overcome this temporary disappointment. Airports develop its surroundings. Let us all be patience and find solutions ❤

The airport is ideally located to be a good arrival point for visitors to Jamaica. The sad thing is that no one seemed to understand or if they did they hid the reality of what length of runway was needed to facilitate landing flights there. They also never studied the fleet makeup of most carriers now serving Jamaica, especially the budget carriers. One is right to ask if they were stupid or wanted to fool Jamaicans into using taxpayer money unwisely. Currently, the AA small Embraer 175 jet is the only commercial jet able to land on the short runway. Of note too, its short range limits it to one east coast USA city, Miami. Also, an aircraft the majority of carriers like Jet Blue, Spirit, Swoop, and South West do not have in their fleet. Ian Fleming International will remain a waste of taxpayer money until they figure out a way to extend the runway to almost double its size than what is there currently. A logistic feat that will be extremely expensive if you know anything about the land space available there before it goes into the sea. It may seem political but the government has really hoodwinked the people on this project or worse fooled themselves.

While you are right about we need change in jamaica. We also need haters like you to stop put your bad mouth on our beautiful country. That airport will live to put you and your political agenda to shame. Jamaica is changing and changing for the good of all well thinking jamaican and thats the bottom line why I am moving back home.

Meh. A long time dem a thief Jamaican people. God nah sleep.

Excellent work. You have supporters.

Context do matter!

Very informative John

Better than none a tall

Perfect Dr. John Lennon however the audio needs a little better enhancement. Keep the fire blazing under the present government. Please directly attack the Minister of Mining and Energy regarding a lack of development in Hydropower that would empower the nation to reduce its Energy cost and stimulate manufacturing resulting in more potential of value adding products. Also attack the inability of the present Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade for not being Visionary in working with the Mining and Energy Minister in helping to promote how this can benefit Foreign Investors. Jamaica is a land of many resources and we cannot meet our debt or have an enduring plan to reduce or imports??!! SHAME

Land of wood and water...unbelievable.

U see the government that we of to dear with this big nose man don't care for us

Nigel. Clarke is. Not an. Economist. That is. Why. He. I. H h Had

Where were you guys when massa mark was f. ..ing the country with FINSAC get away from here unpatriotic crooks

Another great video! Any plans to build a presence here and do live streams! You have my support.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a load of shit

Wow! Just wow!

This is a measured and well reasoned exposition of our major Financial bugbear which will not be solved since the country through its leadership has not seen fit to reduce our expenditures on Fossil fueled Energy by going 100% Solar with Battery Storage as well as sparking our manufacturing base and improve the major engine of our country , its Human Assets through highly improved Education pursuits. It must be said that though we would need to borrow to go 100% Solar the good news is that those loans will be paid off in less than seven years . The resultant benefits are enormous as we would all be able to have cheap electricity which presents huge opportunities for Manufacturing and Technological Development across the nation.

Great Job Doc I'll share with my audience.🙏🇯🇲

The problem is, Jamaica is banking waaayyy to much on Tourism, a fragile industry.

How old is the donated ambulance? There are protocols on medical gifts! WE MUST CONSIDER THE COST OF OWNERSHIP FOR DONATED USED ITEMS! AN AMBULANCE THAT IS USED AND WRITTEN-OFF IN USA OR UK SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR JAMAICA. WHILE A GIFT IS GREAT, WHAT'S THE COST OF OWNERSHIP! I TJIS DONOR SO DESIRE TO GIVE A GOOD AMBULANCE, THEN PAY FOR IT, CKEAR IT, AND DELIVER IT WHICHEVER HOSPITAL HE DESIRE! WESTERN REGIONAL HEALTH, NORTH EAST REGIONAL HEALTH AND SOUTHER HEALTH AUTHORITIES JUST BOUGHT OVER FOURTEEN BRAND NEW AMBULANCES BEHIRE APRIL 1, 2024! STOP GRIPING ABOUT ONE USED, WITHDRAWN, OLD AMBULANCE! THANKS BUT NO THANKS! WILL THE ONE, OLD, USED AMBULANCE FIX THE PROBLEMS YOU HIGHLIGHTED? TJIS IS JUST A PUBLICITY STUNT!

Where the money that the government get from Japan or China to go to hospital Stop take we fi fool

The new parliament building is as necessary to the populace as is the big house in Beverly Hills

Looking at the doctor I can see his inflated ego bubble bursted you guys are worthless sympathizers to Mark Golding the white man's blood lives in unuh worthless puppets

Tell the government to buy ambulance out of him paid

I'm ashamed of my country response to this

@garfieldkeddoo81 💯We most ABSOLUTELY AGREE with you ‼️ This, most shameful & totally corrupt government must be held accountable for ((all)) of its crimes against the Jamaican citizenry.

This Dutty Jay Hell Pee Govt

Corruption by inept ministers

Which idiot is this? It's people like you bringing the country of Jamaica down. Ocho Rios is growing and yes, it could have had a bigger airport, but you wouldn't understand unless you live there to know the challenges of 1hr to 2hr drive from Sangster Airport with a price tag to match. Everything this prime minister does is never appreciated. We can give advice instead of tearing down the government. You remind me of another idiot from St Elizabeth who live in the diaspora, maybe the tri state area, he said Jamaica can earn US$10 Billion if a new airport buolt in St Elizabeth just because he's from the parish.

You produced this video really good

Award winning tourism minister? How can tourism fail with a name brand country that its people including sports stars, musicians poets and others have put it on the map. I dare to say even it's gangsters have certain mystique to others check the movies. It would be hard for a minister to fail at tourism. The only question is the money made from tourism in jamaica is it filtering back to its people with so many sharks in the game?

WOW, YA'LL KNOW HOW MUCH BILLIONS OF JA DOLLARS THAT IS, IF TRUE.

Ah boy

Solid facts to substantiate the corruption disguised as "industry" ...

How much are we paying per dollar on our debt at the moment?

Time for all of them to go not only her

THE REBEL

Mr Rattigan honestly l think you are looking PR, because for a lawyer and work for the FBI your not reading what his going on in the world 🌎 and Jamaica, better yet go within the Waterhouse community and try to elevate the people's minds and improve their living conditions.Your freezing point 00000
