Location
West End, Cayman Islands
Charles Kirkconnell International Airport is the main airport serving Cayman Brac, the second-largest of the Cayman Islands. Located near West End on the western tip of the island, it provides essential air connectivity for residents and visitors traveling to this relatively remote British Overseas Territory.

The airport plays a vital role in supporting the island's diving and ecotourism industry, which draws visitors from around the world.
