CAL President and CEO, Fabian Whorms
The President and CEO of Cayman Airways Ltd (CAL), Mr Fabian Whorms has said that the airline s Boeing 737-8 fleet, consisting of two planes, is ready to safely return to the skies.
This statement comes after yesterday s announcement that The Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands (CAACI) will allow the Boeing 737 MAX to operate passenger flights, subject to close oversight, following the grounding of the aircraft after two tragic accidents Lion Air Flight 610 on October 29, 2018 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 on March 10, 2019.
The ban on the aircraft operating in Cayman Islands’ airspace was lifted following similar decisions by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

Skylar Mack, 18, a US medical student, and Vanjae Ramgeet, 24, a professional jet skier, were released from prison yesterday, January 15, after being sentenced to jail for 2-months for breaking COVID-19 rules on November 29 when Mack attended Ramgeet s jet ski competition just two days into her 14-day COVID quarantine
Her Majesty’s Cayman Islands Prison Service confirmed last week that applications for pre-discharge leave, under the terms of section 30 (2) of Prisons Law were received on behalf of both Ms Mack and Mr Ramgeet, and Ms Mack boarded a Cayman Airways flight yesterday morning, intended for the United States.
According to officials, both Mack and Ramjeet completed their sentence in accordance with Cayman law but received shorter sentences due to a lack of precedent that was in place, given that it was the first such case under Cayman s more stringent COVID-19 regulations.
