Cayman Airways is always seeking to expand its operation and its assests to allow for this to happen. The airline will be constantly upgrading its fleet as expansion plans seek to be executed. To deliver the most complete service in the market the latest adition to the fleet has been planned in July 2016. The Saab 240 B Plus is scheduled to undergo maintenance in the next couple of months so the acquisition is imminent. 

Cayman Airways are analysing the possibility of opening, in the following months, a direct route between The Cayman Islands and Honduras Island Roatan, in Honduras' Caribbean. Honduras and Cayman Island's authorities conferred and stated they are seeking for ways in which they can increase commercial activity between the countries. As a result of this meeting, one of the the actions proposed was a new direct route between the before mentioned Honduran city and The Cayman Islands.

Speaking on the matter, Kirkconnel appeared confident with the timing of the decision, "The look at new gateways is on now[...]we want to open the west coast because we believe it is an under-served market for Cayman."

Formerly LN-NOO with Norwegian, the twinjet has been leased from Air Lease Corporation on a twenty-five month contract. It is aimed as an interim measure while the Caymanian carrier awaits delivery of its four B737 MAX 8s, also on lease from ALC.

Cayman Airways - Flights to Grand Cayman

Any airline that has a turtle with a wooden leg as its logo gets our vote. Recent network expansion has seen Cayman Airways operate a thrice weekly service to John F. Kennedy International Airport. The flights leave Grand Cayman on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 4:10PM and depart New York at 9AM on Thursday, Sunday and Monday. This cracking airline has undergone an image transformation with a new look more representative of the Cayman Islands. The new look reflects on what is unique about the islands, the people and culture and heritage of the coloufrul Caymans.

Mr Turtle requests you "hop on board" with him, don’t forget to give the old fellah a hand up the steps though!
