Airport, banks, courts and schools to close ahead of storm
(CNS): As Tropical Depression 18 makes its way across the Caribbean, government officials have confirmed that most public sector offices, the airport, courts and schools will all be closed Tuesday when the system is expected to pass between Grand Cayman and the Sister Islands as a tropical storm or possibly a hurricane. The Cayman Island Bankers’ Association said all local retail banks will close tomorrow and reopen as soon as possible following the all-clear.
Cayman Airways said the airports are expected to close at 9am Tuesday, so the flight schedule will change accordingly. KX104 will now depart Grand Cayman at 8:30am while KX105 and all other jet services will be cancelled. KX4003 will depart Grand Cayman at 7am for Cayman Brac and KX4004 will leave Cayman Brac at 8:05am for Grand Cayman.

“World class” morons.
Shutting down Grand Cayman on Tuesday was farsical!! Why? Are we now afraid when the sky becomes cloudy?? Totally absurd! Encourages laziness!
In primary school, when rain came we still went to school. In high school in UK I had to play rugby and football in snow!!!
PS, I’m 9th gen born and raised Caymanian!! Just so I won’t be mistaken for someone from elsewhere.
Okay, so we were fortunate that the storm was a non-event for Grand Cayman. In spite of this, the schools are all closed again for a second day. WHY?!
The private schools wanted to open today – but the ministry instructed them to remain closed “in order to conduct safety checks and planning”
This is bonkers, embarrassing and incompetence at its best.
What a complete joke. Shut down the pretty much the entire retail sector for a whole day. Pathetic.
LOL, but certainly not liquor stores.
Absolutely not!
