Cayman Airways reintroduced a non-stop jet service from Miami to Cayman Brac on Saturday 27 November. Resort managers on both Cayman Brac and Little Cayman welcomed the new service.

Manager of the Divi Tiara Beach Resort, Max Hillier, said, “I believe that direct flights from the US to Cayman Brac will be instrumental in a very successful tourism year in 2005. It will make a huge difference to group bookings, provided that the Department of Tourism and Cayman Airways make this information very accessible to the North American dive market.”

The direct flight will also make travel to Little Cayman much easier, according to Paradise Villas Manager Mark Poithier, who has already added this information to his website.

“The schedule appears to mesh with the Cayman Express schedule in and out of Little Cayman and adds another quicker option for getting here,” Mr Poithier said. Flight KX103 leaves Miami at 10.45am and arrives Cayman Brac 12.05pm. It then continues on to Grand Cayman, leaving at 12.35pm and arriving 1.05pm.

While the non-stop flight in to Cayman Brac has made travel to the Sister Islands easier, the Brac’s Gerard Smith Airport does not have whole screening baggage required for security for flights into the US. 

Rick Blake, Cayman Airways’ Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said the return trip is a one-stop flight via Grand Cayman, where the whole baggage screening is conducted. The airline does not have any plans at present to initiate nonstop service out of the Brac to Miami, he said.
