Kingston Airport Emergency Exercise: The Loomex Group

November 6, 2025

All News

The Loomex Group planned, coordinated, and led a full-scale emergency training exercise at Kingston Airport (YGK). The day focused on realistic decision-making under pressure, clear communications, and collaboration across responding teams.

What we tested

  • Notification and command: establishing incident command quickly and cleanly
  • Inter-agency communications: keeping information accurate and timely
  • Operational decision-making: practicing the choices that matter in real time
  • After-action learning: capturing insights while they’re fresh

Why it matters
Exercises like this turn plans into muscle memory. When real events happen, teams that have trained together can act faster, communicate better, and keep people and operations safer.
