Jamaica / Flights

By Sara Macefield

In most cases, travellers, and particularly holidaymakers, fly to Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay on the north coast, which is the destination of most long-haul services. However, those heading for the Blue Mountains or the capital Kingston should look for a flight bound for Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston.

From both airports, there is a network of local flights to other Caribbean countries or within Jamaica itself as the island has a handful of smaller airports that take local flights. January 2011 saw the opening of the island’s third main facility, the Ian Fleming International Airport near Ocho Rios, which can accommodate small jets from other Caribbean islands and the States.
