About This File
FS2004 Air Jamaica Airbus A320-214, registration 6Y-JMK, "Spirit of Mandeville", with lighting effects and updated FDE. Air Jamaica was founded in late 1968 and started operations in April of 1969. Throughout its existence it had enjoyed expansive growth through the 1990's during which time the Jamaican government reduced their ownership share in the company to 25% in an effort to privatize it. However, in 2004 Air Jamaica suffered significant financial losses, so the government interceded to take back 100% ownership of the company. Air Jamaica has argueably one of the brightest, most colorful liverys of any airline flying. It had not been that way until the 1990's when Air Jamaica repainted its fleet in this livery. This airframe, registration 6Y-JMK, was delivered to Air Jamaica in July of 2003 and is the newest A320 in thier fleet of nine. She bears the name "Spirit of Mandeville" aft of the flag of Jamaica below the side windscreen. Attention was paid to detail and realism as much as possible. Most repainted textures are 32 bit with no mipmaps (wings are DXT3). Repaint by Jeffrey S. Bryner, Model by Project Airbus, FDE and lighting modifications by Grayson Ottaway. Uses default 737-400 panel and sounds.
