Cayman Airways

Cayman Airways is an airline based in George Town, Grand Cayman, West Indies, operating scheduled domestic and international services.

= History = Cayman Airways traces its history back to 1955, when Salvadoran flag carrier TACA, together with private partners, established Cayman Brac Airways. In 1968, the Cayman provincial government purchased TACA's share (55%) and renamed the airline Cayman Airways.

Cayman Airways in British Columbia
Flights between Vancouver, British Columbia and George Town began in 1989 as a winter-only service. In 1997 it was made year-round, but in 2002 it returned to seasonal operation again, with four flights weekly in the winter timetable.

Immediately the Cayman government bought the airline, it placed an order with De Havilland British Columbia for two DHBC-5 Swan turboprop airliners; these were the last two Swans built in 1968. They went on to serve Cayman Airways reliably for fifteen years, being sold to Kootenay Airways of BC in 1983. In 1987, Cayman bought a single DHBC-7 Trident 7B from Continental Airlines of the United States; the trijet had a short career with the airline, however, being sold to Zuliana de Aviación of Venezuela in 1990.
