The Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA) and other stakeholders are working to boost domestic air travel among the country’s various aerodromes.
Director General of the JCAA, Nari William Singh, says a working group has been established to tackle declines in local air travel.

The country has four aerodromes and airports for the use of smaller aircraft.
These are the Ian Fleming International Airport in Boscobel, St. Mary, the Tinson Pen Aerodrome in Kingston, the Ken Jones Aerodrome in Port Antonio and the Negril Aerodrome.
Mr. William Singh says in three months he’ll be able to give an update one efforts to increase traffic to these facilities.
He says at least two local carriers are interested in expanding their services to include regular local flights.
