Jamaica's historic domestic gateway on Kingston Harbour.

Opened
1930s
Location
Kingston, Jamaica
Tinson Pen Airport (IATA: KTP) is a small domestic aerodrome located on the southern coast of Kingston, Jamaica, situated along the Kingston Harbour waterfront. It serves primarily as Jamaica's hub for inter-island and domestic charter and scheduled flights, connecting Kingston with other Jamaican destinations such as Port Antonio and Negril. The airport is named after Reginald Tinson, a pioneering Jamaican aviator. It is operated by the Airports Authority of Jamaica and handles light aircraft, small turboprops, and charter operations rather than large commercial jets. Due to its compact size and waterfront position, Tinson Pen has limited facilities compared to Norman Manley International Airport, which handles the majority of Kingston's international traffic. It plays an important role in supporting regional air mobility within Jamaica.
