About KIN airport
Norman Manley International Airport sits on the Palisadoes — a narrow sandy causeway connecting Kingston to the Port Royal peninsula. The drive into Kingston follows this causeway with Kingston Harbour views on one side and the Caribbean on the other. It is one of the most scenic airport approaches in the Caribbean.
