KIN Kingston

How deep the KIN board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from KIN. This reads the same 17 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 12of the 17 destinations are flown by one airline
• 9destinations run less than once a day
• 2destinations have four or more departures a day
• 35.3%of the destinations name Caribbean Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at KIN

14 airlines appear on the KIN board and they do not hold it evenly. Caribbean Airlines is on 6 of the 17 destinations, 35.3 per cent of them, and on 3 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 8.4 of the 23.7 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is interCaribbean Airways on 3 destinations. 9 of the 14 airlines at KIN appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at KIN: one airline on 35.3 per cent of the destinations and the other 64.7 per cent spread across 13 airlines. A cancellation inside the Caribbean Airlines network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 11 destinations Caribbean Airlines does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the KIN board is daily

Of the 17 destinations, 8 are flown at least once a day and 9 are not, 1 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the KIN board is flown 4 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: KIN to Santiago (SCU) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 16 of the 23.7 departures a day, 67.5 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves KIN is aimed at those five places, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests, and a hand carry that is not going to one of them is planned around a single departure time.

The seven destinations out of KIN where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable.

The way back from KIN

The desk holds the return direction for 14 of the 17 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 14 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through KIN is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

It runs the other way as well: Miami (MIA) files 5.6 a day back into KIN against 3.1 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at KIN

KIN keeps America/Jamaica time, nine hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 00:00 at KIN, and a nine to six day at each end does not overlap at all, so an instruction written in Dubai is read here on the following working day unless somebody is woken up.

The night at KIN

1 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into London (LGW) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from KIN that lands inside it leaves around 07:55, on a modelled block of 9h 35m. Those one departure times out of KIN are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where KIN turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Jamaica country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with KIN already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 17 destinations above.
