The runway at Ian Fleming International Airport in Boscobel, St. Mary, is to be expanded to accommodate larger planes, making it easier for visitors to travel to St. Ann and Portland.
Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says the Ian Fleming expansion will also open up new opportunities for different types of aircraft to access the facility. These include super jets.
Speaking this week in Ocho Rios, St. Ann, Mr. Bartlett pointed out that the expansion will also open up opportunities for villas and small hotel operators in Ocho Rios, St. Mary and Port Antonio, who can now use the connectivity access as a major marketing tool.
The minister said Ian Fleming International can now be properly utilised to spread some of the tourism business into the eastern end of the island.
