Jamaica has two (2) international airports, five (5) public aerodromes, ten (10) private aerodromes, and many authorized helicopter-landing areas. This listing does not include military facilities or those aerodromes that are presently not in use. Jamaica is interested in achieving a higher growth rate in the general aviation sector of the industry and this activity may result in some aerodromes being re-opened or constructed. Aerodrome certification regulations were enacted into law in March 1998 and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is currently working with airport and aerodrome operators to complete certification requirements and registration requirements. Aerodromes that require certification are those with international designation and those that are served by scheduled service with aircraft carrying ten or more passengers. The remainder will be registered in the Jamaica Aeronautical Information Publication "AIP Jamaica". Jamaican regulations specify and enable ICAO Annex 14 Standards and Recommended Practices as the relevant certification standards.
