Fleet
Cayman Airways (IATA: KX, ICAO: CAY) is the flag carrier of the Cayman Islands, established in 1968. The airline has built its operations around Owen Roberts International Airport near George Town, which serves as its main hub for regional Caribbean connectivity.
The airline's fleet combines two aircraft families: the Saab 340 turboprop and the Boeing 737 jet. This mix allows Cayman Airways to serve both smaller island destinations with shorter runways and larger regional hubs with higher capacity. The turboprops excel on regional routes with limited infrastructure, while the 737s provide efficient service on longer distances and busier routes.
As a regional carrier, Cayman Airways focuses on connecting the Cayman Islands to neighboring territories and Caribbean destinations. The airline maintains a practical approach to network planning, balancing frequency, aircraft utilization, and the geographic constraints of island aviation in the region.
