(Jamaica Observer) When the Canadian husband and wife pair of Tom and Susan Little arrived here back in March, they had a flight booked to return to Toronto on May 15.
“We were coming originally for two months [as] we thought in two months it (COVID-19) would be all over,” a rueful Tom Little told the Jamaica Observer last week.
The Canadian retirees are among about ten tourists stranded in Treasure Beach as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which led to the closure of Jamaica’s multi-billion-dollar tourism industry as well as incoming air passenger traffic in late March.
Repeated attempts by the Littles to travel home by Air Canada flights over the past five weeks have all come to nothing with the airline rescheduling on each occasion.
“…Unless Jamaica introduces something else that would deter Air Canada from flying, I think we are good to go,” Susan Little told the Observer.
