🛬 Cayman Islands unaffected by Boeing 737 Max 9 grounding

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands (CAACI) has clarified that the recent grounding of Boeing 737 Max 9 aircrafts will not impact local flights. This is due to the fact that there are no Max 9s listed on the Cayman Islands Aircraft Registry, nor are there any scheduled airline carriers operating these aircrafts within the jurisdiction. The CAACI will continue to monitor the situation following the Federal Aviation Authority's directive to halt Max 9 flights until all units have undergone inspection and necessary actions have been taken. 📑

The directive was issued in response to an incident where an Alaska Airways Max 9 lost a mid-cabin door shortly after take-off from Portland, Oregon, causing rapid decompression of the plane. The flight had six crewmembers and 171 passengers on board, but fortunately, no serious injuries were reported during the emergency landing. The Cayman Airways international fleet comprises 737 Max 8 aircraft and the airline has no Max 9s. 🛫
