Vernamfield should be an aerotropolis !! Cargo, Commercial and transshipment hub with distribution for North, South and Central America, and the Caribbean… That’s my opinion.

Until crime, especially gun, drug and gang-based violent crime is eliminated or brought under manageable control all that is taking place will not have the widespread and really meaningful development effect that the country needs. Other important matters that need to be factored in are sustained development of the export industries, especially agriculture.These are sectors that should be undergirding the economy to a larger extent. While the tourism/hospitality industry is extremely important to economies like Jamaica, it is more susceptible to certain international financial and economic "shocks" than most of the other industries. Furthermore, Jamaica is importing far more goods than it is exporting and this is one of the main reasons why the foreign exchange situation remains so unbalanced.and is negatively affecting the cost of living. Other critical areas to be addressed and which should be keeping pace with the current construction boom and related activities are the Public Utility Services ( power/electric, communication/telephone etc water and transportation) These services too often operate way below the expected standard engendering frequent complaints of dissatisfaction by members of the public. The importance of having these services expanded, properly maintained efficient and reliable is a critical imperative for sustained social and economic development. Yet another pressing matter is that of affordable housing. Persons view all these new exciting construction projects taking place, including some housing in the Corporate Area and some rural parishes, and wonder why a space can't be found for them.

You can’t live in a country and not use local contractors. However, stipulations should be made on who the work is graded etc, with oversight and if those are not met, it will be at the expense of the contractor. Not using local people are ludicrous!! 😢

Bro. This is why I often tell you to do your research and not think irrationally. You apparently believe that every airport that starts up must be big and amazing, and that the "amazingness" of the airport will sell itself and the area. That's dangerous thinking. International airports are extremely difficult and expensive to run. That one big airport in Sri Lanka (Mattala Rajapaksa Int'l) - as massive, modern and impressive as it is - is a ghost airport that nobody uses; because the then-president tried to force tourism in a small rural area that doesn't have it. An even more relevant failed case is the Nacala Int'l in Mozambique; where they had attempted to redevelop a former military airport to meet what they thought was an increasing transport corridor for logistics and potential economic development. Sound familiar?? You're not thinking logically at all. Vernamfield Int'l could suffer the same fate. Where is your government going to get the money to build an international airport as large as the one in Dubai from scratch? And what if that airport fails to break even? The resulting effect would be immense, it could topple Jamaica's economy. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Punta Cana Int'l is an example of an airport that started off incredibly small and relatively unknown. It struggled to start off for years, but by using smart marketing and integration with tourism, it is now one of the fastest growing airports in the Caribbean, as well as one of the busiest. Your keen disregard for Ian Fleming Int'l shows you're not well researched. Small growths are often big growths for small airports that young. The terminal building has grown, flights will become daily later this year, and the runway is currently being expanded across the road to accommodate the increased traffic. If you had actually visited there like I asked, you would have noticed that. Did you even check out Ian Fleming International Airport like I had requested? Or are you just running off your mouth again?

@drivinginjamaica Күн бұрын

Thanks for the info. I think you missed the point of thr Dubai comparison or maybe a was not clear. Build Vernamfield off the Dubai airport model. Use as a hub for passenger connecting to.other countries. Dont focus on Vernamfield as just an airport for visitors to Ja. Use as a hub.

@drivinginjamaica Күн бұрын

40% of passengers at DIA are connecting to another city. DIA is a hub.

I will visit Ian Fleming asap. It has been open almost 20 Years. If it was going to work it would have already.

@the-development-scribbler Күн бұрын

@@drivinginjamaica Bro, even IF we are thinking of using Vernamfield as a stopover or layover point to other places, it still doesn't change the fact that it needs to be a prominent destination point. Much like Dubai, there is a lot of overlap between being a destination point and a stopover point. Infrastructure, highway accessibility and connectivity, consumer confidence and strong economic corridors need to be in place to compel people to the area before something like Vernamfield International can take root. Get too optimistic and the project will attract insane debt, implode on itself and suffer due to competition from larger airports and more established commercial hubs. Again, a massive project like Vernamfield Int'l is how Nacala Int'l in Mozambique failed. There is no guarantee that people won't choose Montego Bay or Kingston instead. And at least Ian Fleming Int'l has the 'Ocho Rios' advantage; so it will be able to stand on its own for a while. Speaking of Ian Fleming Int'l Airport, it had opened up in January 12, 2011. That's 13 years since it's inception, definitely not 20 years. And even then, it is normal for small airports like Ian Fleming to take several years to develop and establish itself before becoming a significant commercial hub. This is to prevent overexpansion and ensure that the airport grows sustainably, starting off with limited services and expanding gradually as it gains experience and market presence. Successful mega airports such as Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore), Copenhagen Airport (Denmark) and Incheon International Airport (South Korea) started off this way. Hell, even Dubai International Airport (UAE) - the airport you keep on bringing up - started this way; using a small airstrip in the 1960s with a modest terminal and limited infrastructure. Over the decades it capitalized on its strategic location between cities and continents to develop itself as a major hub for global travel, using the advantage of logistics and tourism to grow its economy. Sound familiar?? Even IF Ian Fleming Int'l doesn't become a stopover spot like Dubai, it is in fact growing like a functioning airport should. You just don't see it that way because there aren't any colossal airbuses roaring in or any massive eye-candy terminal buildings present there yet. You're being unrealistic.

An airline would have to establish a base at Vernamfield for it to become a hub. Logistically it's possible, its whether or not the governorment want to make the investment. Not only would they need to build an airport, but they would need to have hotels, living accommodations, training centers, catering, tech ops, etc etc all set up in the area.
