Greetings
and welcome to all of our
special guests and the media
today as we welcome the
newest airline to join the
Sangster International Airport
team.
Most
people think of Sangster
International Airport as
the primary tourism gateway
to Jamaica. Indeed, the
vast majority of visitors
to this beautiful destination
arrive and depart through
MBJ and are the beneficiaries
of the over US $ 180 Million
in improvements and expansion
made over the last several
years at this airport.
It
is because of this role,
the importance of the airport
to domestic traffic between
Kingston and Jamaica's second
city, Montego Bay, if often
overlooked. Airports in
Jamaica are an important
business link between communities
and assist in facilitation
of business development
around the island. There
is a segments of passengers
numbering over 25,000 travelling
between Kingston and Montego
Bay with great frequency,
often by car.
Now
there is an alternative!
Now we have the option of
a frequent and reliable
air service between our
two cities! So, we encourage
everyone to 'get out of
your cars and into a plane!'
MBJ
Airports Limited welcomes
this new arrival to our
team at Sangster International
Airport and hopes that passengers
travelling between Kingston
and Montego Bay will take
advantage of our new domestic
facilities. This main terminal
has an entire area dedicated
to domestic passengers with
separate check-in facilities
and security clearance to
ensure that travelling domestically
in Jamaica is fast and easy
and avoids spending time
with Immigration and Custom
formalities.
We
also look forward to welcoming
residents of Kingston who
see the benefits of flying
from Tinson Pen to Sangster
to take advantage of all
of the International flights
offered from Montego Bay.
Sangster is the best connected
airport to the world in
Jamaica with well over 300
flights a week to major
destinations in the United
States, Canada, the United
Kingston and Europe! Residents
of Kingston can look forward
to less traffic, shorter
required check-in times
and more flights to choose
from by using Tinson Pen
to connect to MBJ's International
flights.
MBJ
Airports Limited looks forward
to welcoming the many new
passengers we expect Jamaica
Air Shuttle to attract and
wish this new airline all
the best for the future.
Thank
you.
