Norman Manley International Airport

Norman Manley International Airport (MKJP) is a large airport in Kingston, Jamaica. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code MKJP or IATA code KIN. It sits in North America.

Norman Manley International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Norman Manley International Airport sits near sea level at 10 ft.

Local operations run on America/Jamaica. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess inventory for MKJP updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

As one of the larger fields in Jamaica, MKJP tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.
