KINGSTON, Jamaica — SkyWritings, Air Jamaica’s in-flight magazine, recently won two awards, further cementing its reputation as one of Jamaica’s most established magazines.
SkyWritings was named “Magazine of the Year” at the Advertising Agencies Association of Jamaica (AAAJ) Media Awards. The magazine also won the award for “Best Overall Feature” in the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s Annual Caribbean Media Awards for the story “The Mystical, Magical Cockpit Country” written by Michael Robinson and published in the March/April 2008 “Green Issue”.
“We are thrilled to have received recognition not once, but twice in a single month. We have a small staff, but with the support of hundreds of writers and photographers, I think we’ve been able to deliver an entertaining and engaging publication to our readers, who by the way are not just airline passengers, but also include a solid number of subscribers,” said Anthony Gambrill, publisher.
