Domestic Aerodromes
The four domestic aerodromes are critical to Jamaica's air transportation system. Their proximity to major resorts makes them especially important in the intra-island movement of tourists, leisure and business passengers, as well as light cargo around the island.
The four domestic aerodromes are:
- Tinson Pen Situated near the capital city of Kingston
- Ken Jones 14 km east of Ocho Rios
- Boscobel 10 km west of Port Antonio
- Negril 7 km north of Negril Point.
Tinson Pen Aerodrome
The largest of the country's four domestic aerodrome, Kingston’s Tinson Pen is adjacent to the Kingston Free Zone, the largest trans-shipment port in the English-speaking Caribbean.
As a vital commercial link between Kingston and Montego Bay, this aerodrome caters mainly to business travellers and offers a variety of small parcel services. Daily flights to the resort cities of Montego Bay, Negril, Ocho Rios and Port Antonio are available. Tinson Pen also facilitates non-scheduled and private aircrafts, flight training schools and aircraft maintenance.
