Ken Jones Airport (IATA: POT, ICAO: MKKJ) is a small domestic airport located near Port Antonio in Portland Parish, on the northeastern coast of Jamaica. It serves as a regional airstrip primarily used for charter flights and small general aviation aircraft connecting the area to Kingston and other Jamaican destinations.
