Shadow transport minister Lawrence Scott has been suspended from his job as supervisor at JetBlue Airways.

It is understood he was placed on leave by the company while it carries out an investigation into allegations about his conduct.

Mr Scott, 36, the son of the former Premier Alex Scott, was hired by JetBlue in 2006 as its supervisor at LF Wade International Airport.

A pilot, he was previously chief executive officer of his own firm, Airborne Management, which specialised in luxury concierge services. Before that, he was operations officer at Aircraft Services Bermuda.

The Progressive Labour Party MP for Warwick South East declined to comment when contacted by The Royal Gazette yesterday.

JetBlue spokeswoman Elizabeth Ninomiya told this newspaper: “We do not comment on employment matters.”
