🛫 Cayman Airways moves fleet overseas ahead of Hurricane Beryl

Cayman Airways has relocated its fleet overseas as part of its strategic hurricane preparedness plan. The move comes as Hurricane Beryl's projected impact on the Cayman Islands coincides with a day when some flights were already scheduled to overnight at international airports. This has provided an advantage for the airline, allowing it to ensure the safety of its aircraft.

Flights were scheduled to depart to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York, where they will remain overnight. The remaining two B737-8 jets operated evacuation flights from Grand Cayman to Miami International Airport (MIA), where they will also stay overnight. The Express' two Twin Otters and one Saab will be parked at Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPA) in Miami overnight, while the second Saab is already overseas for annual maintenance.

Fabian Whorms, President and CEO of Cayman Airways, thanked the pilots, flight attendants, and other key staff who volunteered to travel overseas with the fleet. The airline is coordinating with the Cayman Islands Airports Authority to ensure the earliest possible return of the fleet after the hurricane. Cayman Airways stands ready to assist the Cayman Islands Government with further evacuation and supply flights if necessary, and will resume regular flight schedules as soon as possible after the storm.
