History of Cayman Airways

Cayman Airways was established in the late 1960s when the Cayman Government purchased Cayman Brac Airways from a Costa Rican airline. The airline began by operating only regional flights from Owen Roberts Airport to Gerrard Smith Airport in Cayman Brac. Its first international flight came only months after start-up, to Kingston in Jamaica. In the 1970s Cayman Airways introduced flights to Miami and then later to Houston. In the 1990s the airline received financial help from the government and regained profit by adding new destinations to Chicago, Boston, Ft. Lauderdale and Havana.
