The Statistical Analysis and Research Unit provides the Civil Aviation Authority and its stakeholders with statistics that assist informed decision-making.

The Statistical Unit collects and collates statistics on passenger and aircraft movement in and out of Jamaica's airports. These statistics detail aircraft movements at both international airports pertaining to scheduled, non-scheduled flights and domestic private and other flights.

All airlines providing scheduled services into Jamaica are required by the Civil Aviation (Air Transport Licensing) Regulations to complete a Form 7 each month with the following information:

Aircraft type

Frequency of service (s)

Name of operator/airline etc.

The Statistical Unit is required to coordinate and submit all Air Transport Reporting Forms to ICAO. These Air Transport Forms are comprehensive and are integral to ICAO's statistical publications which contain information on the financial results and operations of commercial air carrier, airports and air navigation services.

ICAO Air Transport Reporting Forms

All scheduled carriers operating flights into Jamaica are required to file fares and rates and the conditions governing these tariffs with the Civil Aviation Authority, subject to the terms and conditions of their respective Air Service Agreements. This is done before these fares are made available for sale to the public.
