It seems like this airport gets upgraded every 5 or 10 years. I suppose that is progress of a kind.
The article says the expansion had already begun, and I believe I read about runway extension to allow larger planes some time back.
" ... expected to improve ... customer comfort, and greater efficiency in handling throughput in immigration and arrival areas."
Now if something could be done about the security people at departure. Some of the surliest, angriest Jamaicans I've ever encountered.
On the other hand, last trip I had a genuinely nice immigration officer at arrival, cracking jokes, etc. A rarity for me.
