Norman Manley International Airport (MKJP)

Get ready for the next edition of Heart of the Caribbean, hosted by Kingston FIR on the VATSIM network! On Sunday, August 17, from 1900Z to 2300Z, we’ll have Norman Manley International Airport (MKJP) fully staffed with Ground, Tower, Approach and Center positions. Controllers will simulate high‑tempo Caribbean operations—handling arrivals and departures to/from destinations like Piarco (TTPP), Sangster (MKJS), and Santo Domingo (MDSD).


We warmly invite pilots to join us and fly Caribbean Airlines routes: experience the iconic ATR 72 hops between Kingston and Montego Bay, or medium‑haul 737 services to Toronto. Whether you’re flying GA, regional turboprops, or heavy metal, you’ll find realistic ATC services and a friendly, immersive environment.


Don’t miss your chance to hone your skills in a busy FIR, make new friends, and showcase Caribbean Airlines operations under expert ATC guidance. Mark your calendars, file your flight plans, and prepare for an unforgettable evening of Caribbean skies on VATSIM!
