Cayman Airways is the flag carrier and national airline of the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. Founded in 1968, it is majority-owned by the Cayman Islands government and provides essential air links between the islands and key destinations in North America and the Caribbean. The airline operates scheduled passenger services from its primary base at Owen Roberts International Airport on Grand Cayman, connecting the territory to cities such as Miami, Tampa, Houston, New York, and regional Caribbean destinations. It also serves the Sister Islands of Cayman Brac and Little Cayman through its subsidiary, Cayman Airways Express. As a small national carrier, Cayman Airways plays a vital role in supporting the tourism-dependent economy of the Cayman Islands. The airline has historically faced financial challenges common to small island carriers but continues to operate with strong government backing.
