The Cayman Islands is receiving expanded airlift from the UK next summer.

British Airways is adding a fifth weekly flight from Heathrow for the 2023 summer season.

The additional service has been scheduled from March 26 via Nassau in The Bahamas until the end of October, with return fares starting at £727.

The schedule will see flights operate to George Town, Grand Cayman, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

The launch of the additional frequency on the Caribbean route follows the Cayman Islands’ full removal of Covid-related travel requirements in August.

Cayman Islands Department of Tourism director Rosa Harris said: “The additional direct flight demonstrates the increasing desire from European travellers to visit our islands and will hopefully allow us to exceed our pre-pandemic visitor numbers.”

Multiple direct flights running throughout the week gives visitors increased flexibility, she added.
