(CNS): The Cayman Islands Customs and Border Control Service (CBC) took three more Cuban migrants back to Havana on a Cayman Airways flight last Thursday evening. The three men bring the total of migrants repatriated so far this year to 74, as CBC speeds up the immigration process by refusing access to the asylum process for many who landed here illegally.

Additional repatriation flights will be arranged as processing continues, officials said, though there are still dozens of migrants in the Cayman Islands who arrived before changes to the legislation and are awaiting full asylum claims.

    Why are we using the jet to transport 3 people at a time!? What a waste of our money.

    CNS: There was no suggestion that this was a chartered flight for the three migrants. The inference was that this was a regular scheduled flight.

      All other Cuba repatriation flights recently have been charters so I doubt this one was any different.

        Not true. Most of the recent repatriations have involved commercially scheduled flights to Havana.
