<P> The Jamaican road network consists of almost 21,000 kilometres (13,000 mi) of roads, of which over 15,000 kilometres (9,300 mi) is paved . The Jamaican Government has, since the late 1990s and in cooperation with private investors, embarked on a campaign of infrastructural improvement projects, one of which includes the creation of a system of freeways, the first such access - controlled roadways of their kind on the island, connecting the main population centres of the island . This project has so far seen the completion of 33 kilometres (21 mi) of freeway . </P> <P> Railways in Jamaica no longer enjoy the prominent position they once did, having been largely replaced by roadways as the primary means of transport . Of the 272 kilometres (169 mi) of railway found in Jamaica, only 57 kilometres (35 mi) remain in operation, currently used to transport bauxite . </P> <P> On 13 April 2011, limited passenger service was resumed between May Pen, Spanish Town and Linstead . </P> <P> There are three international airports in Jamaica with modern terminals, long runways, and the navigational equipment required to accommodate the large jet aircraft used in modern and air travel: Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston; Ian Fleming International Airport in Boscobel, Saint Mary Parish; and the island's largest and busiest airport, Sir Donald Sangster International Airport in the resort city of Montego Bay . Manley and Sangster International airports are home to the country's national airline, Air Jamaica . In addition there are local commuter airports at Tinson Pen (Kingston), Port Antonio, and Negril, which cater to internal flights only . Many other small, rural centres are served by private fields on sugar estates or bauxite mines . </P>
