Cayman Airways to replace ageing Cayman Brac planes
Cayman Islands
Cayman’s government-owned airline is planning to replace its two small aeroplanes, estimated to be nearly 25 years old, with more modern alternatives.
The 30-seat Saab aircraft were bought in 2015 to allow Cayman Airways to make up to four round-trips a day to Cayman Brac, according to executive vice president Paul Tibbetts.
The planes were successfully implemented, he said, and helped to grow traffic on the route.
However, that number of passengers has increased now to such a volume that the Saabs are rapidly becoming too small for their intended use.
