Norman Manley: Kingston's airport on the Palisadoes spit
Norman Manley International Airport (IATA KIN, ICAO MKJP) lies on the Palisadoes, the long sand spit that encloses Kingston Harbour, about fifteen kilometers from the center of Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, and a short drive from historic Port Royal. It is the island's second international airport after Montego Bay and the one for business travelers, the diaspora visiting family and visitors to the capital and the Blue Mountains, while the resort traffic lands in the west. The radar on this page shows what our data sources report around Kingston; the arrivals and departures pages are linked above it. Jamaica is six hours behind Central European summer time.
Airlines and destinations
Caribbean Airlines, which took over the former Air Jamaica network, is the largest carrier, flying to New York JFK, Fort Lauderdale, Toronto, Trinidad and across the Caribbean; JetBlue connects New York and Fort Lauderdale, American Airlines Miami, Delta Atlanta and New York, Spirit Fort Lauderdale, Air Canada Toronto, Copa Panama City, and British Airways London Gatwick, the only European service, via Nassau. Cayman Airways links Grand Cayman, and the local carriers fly to Montego Bay and the small airport of Tinson Pen. In our route data, Miami, New York JFK, Fort Lauderdale, Toronto and Grand Cayman are the most frequently flown connections.
Getting into Kingston
Licensed JUTA taxis wait outside arrivals with fixed fares posted by zone; the drive along the Palisadoes road and through the harbor district to New Kingston, where most hotels are, takes 30 to 45 minutes. Knutsford Express coaches connect the airport with Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and the rest of the island. Rental cars are available at the terminal, and Jamaica drives on the left; for the Blue Mountains a four-wheel drive helps. Hotels arrange transfers, which is the advice for late-night arrivals.
Good to know
The terminal is a single building with departures upstairs and arrivals below and the gates a short walk away; the US-bound morning flights leave together, so arrive three hours ahead, as the airlines require, because document checks and security are slow then. Visitors from Europe and North America need no visa for a short stay but should complete Jamaica's online immigration form before arrival. Kingston has areas to avoid, so follow local advice on where to go. For the resorts of the north coast, Montego Bay is the airport, with far more flights from Europe.
