The Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston experienced a surge in activity between December 22 and December 30, 2024, welcoming over 31,000 passengers. This marked a 27 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.
Senior Tourism Advisor and Strategist, Delano Seiveright attributes the uptick in arrivals to the airport in Kingston in part to the Downsound Entertainment-organised Vybz Kartel Freedom Street Concert at the National Stadium on New Year's Eve.
Joe Bogdanovich is the CEO of Downsound Entertainment.
"So far, data shows that nearly 7,000 more passengers landed at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston between December 22 and December 30, 2024 vis a vis December 22 to December 30, 2023, Seiveright noted on New Year’s Eve.
"Busy holiday season indeed and no doubt that the Joe Bogdanovich-led and organised New Year’s Eve show accounts for a fair share of those increased numbers," he added.
