Passengers
who do not present the required travel authorization when checking in

Jamaica, passengers from Cayman will NOT be required to undergo a
COVID-19 test but will be subject to a health screening and risk
assessments by Jamaican health authorities. All passengers are
required to wear a face mask throughout the airport in Kingston.

USA

Persons
travelling to the United States must be US citizens or those legally
able to travel to or through the USA. Passengers are responsible for
