(CMR) Cayman Airways Limited (CAL) made its inaugural flight from the Owen Roberts International Airport in Grand Cayman to the Grantly Adams International Airport in Barbados on Wednesday, 18 October.
In July, CAL announced it would be adding the new route, which is expected to increase connectivity to the Eastern Caribbean. Initially, flights will be on Wednesdays only; however, more flights are expected to be added soon.
“The introduction of the Barbados route will offer cost-effective flights that will significantly enhance the convenience of travel overall to, and within, the Caribbean,” said Minister of Tourism and Ports Kenneth Bryan.
“The financial commitment from BTMI to back this Cayman Airways service has been crucial in making a Barbados route a reality. It underscores the long-standing relationship and spirit of cooperation that exists between the governments of the Cayman Islands and Barbados,” he added.
The new route will also serve as a connection through the Cayman Islands to and from Los Angeles.
“In addition to providing nonstop service to and from Barbados, this new service has been timed to provide convenient connections to the Eastern Caribbean and Europe via the many carriers that fly to the Grantley Adams International Airport. This new service also provides convenient connections via Grand Cayman to Los Angeles, effectively linking the West Coast of the United States with the Eastern Caribbean,” Cayman Airways Chairman Dr. John-Paul Clarke stated.
Starting November 5, Cayman Airways flights to and from Barbados will run as follows:
-Tuesdays: KX804 departs Grand Cayman at 5:10 p.m. and arrives in Barbados at 9:35pm
