Airways International Ltd

Airways International Limited has been at the forefront of the Jamaican General Aviation Industry for over 50 years and has established itself as a leader in innovation and change. As operators of aircraft Airways has been extensively involved in logistics, even before logistics was a recognized industry. The daily transportation of time-sensitive documents and clearings for the banking sector was our foray in 1969 into the time-critical movement of goods and services back and forth across Jamaica between the data centres and the branches of 6 major banks for almost 40 years. The natural outgrowth into the international express delivery saw Airways forging partnerships with industry giants such as United Parcel Service and Amerijet Cargo which took our logistics capabilities to a new dimension. The international experience gained in handling small packages, general cargo, hazardous materials, live animals, and perishables has provided us with invaluable experience for getting the job done. As the operator of a domestic and regional international scheduled air service, Jamaica Air Shuttle, we gained insights into the void of vitally necessary general aviation ground handling services in the region. In 2006, Jet Services was established as a subsidiary providing dedicated General Aviation Ground Handling Services in Kingston at Norman Manley International Airport, Tinson Pen Aerodrome and Ian Fleming International Airports. As a fully certified Stage II IS-BAH provider of ground handling excellence, we have dominated the General Aviation handling sector in Kingston for the last 15 years. As an Approved Aircraft Maintenance Operator, we have supported scheduled and charter operators of aircraft from the Caymans to Haiti and the Turks and Caicos and everything in between, including providing overnight maintenance support to American Airlines for almost a decade.
