CAL’s new Twin Otter begins flights to Little Cayman
(CNS): Cayman Airways Limited (CAL) announced the arrival of its much-anticipated new Twin Otter aircraft, which began flying on Sunday. This brings the fleet of these planes to three and will help improve scheduling for Little Cayman flights.
“This new addition to the Cayman Airways Express fleet, registered as VP-CAW, is equipped with a state-of-the-art avionics suite, enhancing operational reliability for flights to and from Little Cayman,” said Cayman Airways President and CEO Fabian Whorms.
After completing all necessary registration and regulatory procedures, the Twin Otter was added to the regular rotation for domestic service on Sunday and a formal dedication ceremony for the aircraft will be held this month, he said.
“This extra aircraft provides much-needed redundancy for Cayman Airways Express, ensuring dependable connections for our customers and greater scheduling flexibility,” Whorms added.
Paul Tibbetts, CAL’s Executive Vice President of Commercial Affairs and Chief Financial Officer, said, “Cayman Airways remains dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and uniquely Caymanian air travel experiences for all passengers.”

Aircraft is 49 years old and came from Indonesia.
Completely.stripped, upgraded and reassembled by specialist company.
Get the facts before you spout misleading nonsense please.
Those are the facts. No opinion was offered on them.
Just wondering how much the stripping, upgrading and reassembly by specialist company cost us! Another fruitcake idea!
Wow. Thanks.
8 airlines in Canada as well as the a Royal Canadian Mounted Police still use the Twin Otter. No problems in a Canada with 49 year old planes fully maintained.
a non-compliant commercial plane made for an non-compliant airport and travel route….
any comment Mrs governor?
What the duck would the governor have to say? Please read the amendments to the constitution. Unless it is a matter or national security or a breach in human rights treaties, she has no say in our affairs!
incorrect…she has responsibiluty for the international compliance of airports.
Sir Alden very effectively stripped the Governor’s power when he was in power.
A really stupid idea.
Do you own a runway paving company?
Juju took the equipment to the Brac, where it stays rusting, so we have to pay the only local contractor to pave our everything.
Thanks Juju..
Hey, ACC? RCIP?
? “non-compliant commercial plane” ?
How so? Please.
Whatever….thank you CAL , great move and sensible acquisition.
Looks like we have the ICAO Secretary general on here! Elaborate please just what exactly renders this aircraft, operation, airport and “Travel route” (Whatever that is), non-compliant?
Be sure to cite the appropriate annexes and Otar’s to try and support what is bound to be an emotionally charged, imbecilic response.
Compliant with what?
It doesn’t need ICAO certification. It is not an international airport. Brac shouldn’t be either.
