(CNS Business): Government has confirmed its approval of plans by Cayman Airways Limited (CAL) to begin phasing in a brand new fleet of modern aircraft to meet the expected growth in tourism. The national flag carrier is about to begin the tendering process to lease four new 737-8Max aircraft to replace its aging fleet.

    Nice to see that Cayman Airways has 2020 vision! Not only will this help CAL’s bottom line, maintenance, routing, etc., it will also help with passenger comfort as we will be flying similar equipment to all of the other airlines flying here.
