Ian Fleming International Airport guide

Ian Fleming International Airport (ICAO: MKBS) sits at Boscobel on Jamaica's north coast, about 10 km east of Ocho Rios in Saint Mary Parish. It began as Boscobel Aerodrome, a strip for small propeller aircraft. Renovation started in early 2009, and Prime Minister Bruce Golding opened the upgraded airport on 12 January 2011. It is named for the James Bond author, whose Goldeneye estate lies in the same parish.

The airport has a single asphalt runway, 09/27, about 1,450 m long and 24 m wide. It can take private and commercial aircraft up to the size of a Cessna Citation Excel, and larger regional jets such as the Embraer 175 on scheduled service. The terminal houses customs and immigration, a passenger lounge and pilot briefing rooms. It was designed for roughly 20,000 passengers a year.

Traffic is mostly private, charter and general aviation. In 2015 and 2016 the airport handled 2,059 passengers and 2,338 aircraft movements. InterCaribbean Airways flew the first commercial service in June 2022 from Providenciales. American Eagle began Miami flights on 24 February 2024. A terminal and runway expansion broke ground in March 2018, with a runway extension to 1,670 m planned.
