Airport consultations start tonight
Three major projects are planned for the local airports.
It’s all part of the 2041 Cayman Islands Airports Authority’s Airports Master Plan.
The plan sets the foundation for the long-term, sustainable development of Owen Roberts International Airport on Grand Cayman, Edward Bodden Airfield on Little Cayman, and Charles Kirkconnell International Airport on Cayman Brac.
Each project requires an environmental impact assessment, and the public meetings will outline the plans. Among the proposed upgrades is the controversial relocation of the Little Cayman airfield.

If approved, construction of new Little Cayman airport could begin next year
Officials will be taking their proposal to relocate the airport on Little Cayman to the island’s residents this week as part of a public consultation on the potential environmental impact of the project.
If the plan goes ahead, the Edward Bodden Airfield by Blossom Village would be closed and a new airport opened on government-owned land by the Booby Pond Nature Reserve and Rookery.
Residents of Little Cayman are being invited to attend a public meeting on the issue on Thursday night.
