Norman Manley International Airport, formerly known as Palisadoes Airport, is a major international airport serving Kingston, Jamaica. Located approximately 19 km (12 mi) south of New Kingston, it’s the country’s second busiest airport after Sangster International Airport. In 2021, it recorded 830,500 arriving passengers and operates over 130 international flights weekly. The airport is named in honor of Jamaican statesman Norman Manley and serves as a hub for Caribbean Airlines. Situated on the Palisadoes tombolo, it offers stunning views of both Kingston city and the Caribbean Sea.
Jamaica’s aviation history dates back to 1911, with the island’s first recorded flight. In 1930, the first commercial flight, operated by Pan American Airways, landed in Kingston Harbour. The growth of aviation led to the establishment of the Civil Aviation Department in 1947 and the Kingston Air Traffic Control Centre in 1948. Palisadoes Airport, now Norman Manley International, was established in the same year. Notably, the airport was featured in the first James Bond film, “Dr. No,” in 1962.
In terms of renovations, the airport has seen significant improvements, including the expansion of the departure concourse and other infrastructure enhancements. These upgrades, part of a 20-year masterplan, have increased the Norman Manley International Airport’s capacity and improved passenger services. The European Investment Bank and the Caribbean Development Bank have provided funding for these projects, with the first phase completed in 2007. By 2022, the airport will have undergone a virtual reconstruction, ensuring it can meet projected air and passenger traffic demands up to 2023.
