US traffic falls at Sangster as UK, Latin America post gains
WESTERN BUREAU: International arrivals through Sangster International Airport declined by 23.65 per cent in August against the backdrop of reduced hotel-room inventory across western Jamaica and other challenges confronting the tourism sector. The Montego Bay airport recorded 166,325 international arrivals, 51,524 fewer than the 217,849 passengers recorded in August 2025. The decline comes at a time when a significant number of hotel rooms across the western tourism belt remain out of service following Hurricane Melissa.
