Norman Manley airport conducting post-hurricane assessments

PAC Kingston Airport Limited (PACKAL), the operator of the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, says it is undertaking comprehensive checks before transitioning into restoration and a possible phased reopening of the airport.

The company says all critical systems, infrastructure, and facilities must be thoroughly inspected and cleared for safe operations.

The ability of critical stakeholders to get to the airport safely and on time must also be considered.

PACKAL says the airport remains temporarily closed, and passengers should not travel to Norman Manley until advised.

Upon completion of the assessment, PACKAL says it will prioritise any critical repairs or maintenance needs that support the safe and prompt reopening of the airport.

“We are committed to ensuring that all systems are fully operational, structurally sound, and meet the highest safety and security standards before resuming normal airport operations. This will be publicly shared so our passengers can plan accordingly.”
