(CMR) In light of Hurricane Beryl‘s potential impact on the Cayman Islands, Cayman Airways Limited (CAL) initiated a change-fee waiver for customers who wish to voluntarily adjust their travel plans this week. The airline has also adjusted flights to include several evacuation flights.
Cayman Airways will waive applicable change fees and fare difference for travel at a later date for customers whose existing bookings meet the following conditions:
-Tickets must have been purchased on/before June 29, 2024
-Travel must have been scheduled between July 2-4, 2024
-New travel dates must be rebooked by July 9, 2024
-New travel dates must commence by July 9, 2024, and must be completed by July 18, 2024, or by the original return date
-All travel must be rebooked in the original cabin
Passengers wishing to travel at a later date will have the change fee waived but not the fare difference, provided that:
-Tickets had been purchased on/before June 29, 2024
-Travel had been scheduled between July 2-4, 2024
-New travel dates must be rebooked by July 9, 2024
In the meantime, the Cayman Airways Hurricane Committee met on Monday morning, July 1, 2024, and determined that changes to its flight operations are necessary for the safety of its passengers, crew, the Cayman Airways fleet, and to assist the country with the evacuation of visitors and residents as needed:
