Cayman Airways will launch three weekly nonstop flights between New York (Kennedy) and Grand Cayman, effective June 24, subject to government approval. The flights will operate from New York at 9 a.m. on Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays; from Grand Cayman, the flights will depart at 4:10 p.m. on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The service actually will mark the return of Cayman Airways to the New York area after a roughly 16-year absence. The carrier currently has nonstop 737 service to Grand Cayman from Boston, Chicago, Houston, Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Miami as well as flights from Jamaica and Cuba to Grand Cayman and turboprop service on Cayman Airways Express between Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.

Caribbean Airlines launched its codeshare service with British Airways between Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, and London on March 25. Under the codeshare agreement signed late last year, Caribbean Airlines partnered with British Airways to offer daily flights from Barbados and Trinidad to London’s Gatwick Airport. On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, the Boeing 777 flights originate in Trinidad, stop in Barbados and continue on to Gatwick. On the remaining days, the flight originates in Barbados, but Caribbean Airlines operates a shuttle service to provide a seamless connection to the BA London flight. Caribbean Airlines’ customers can redeem frequent flyer rewards on the London flights. The carrier hopes to extend the reward redemption to BA’s global network later this year.
