economic development.”
Jamaica
Prime Minister Andrew Holness says
Jamaica hopes to earn increased revenues
from overflight services as a result
of the recent US$17 million upgrade to
the Kingston Air Traffic Control Center
(KATCC).
Speaking at the opening
of the center, Holness
explained that aviation
contributes billions of
dollars to the Jamaican
economy, both directly and indirectly.
Director General of the Jamaica Civil
Aviation Authority (JCAA), Nari Williams
Sing said the additional revenue
would come from accommodating more
aircraft in the Jamaican airspace as a
result of more efficient movement of
aircraft through the country’s Flight
Information Region (FIR), which is
many times the size of Jamaica.
He pointed out that the upgrade at
the KATCC was part of a larger air navigation
services modernization program,
which includes two new air traffic control
towers at the Norman Manley International
Airport and Sangster International
airports.
William-Singh said this will redound
to a benefit for the country as more
aircraft in the airspace means more revenue
earned from overflight services.
