Government: Keeping Little Cayman airport at current site still on table
Government has told Little Cayman residents who oppose the proposed relocation of their airport that upgrading the airfield at its current site by Blossom Village will be considered.
The Edward Bodden Airfield currently operates under an exemption of airworthiness from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands, which has enabled Cayman Airways to fly small commercial aircraft in and out of the airport for two decades.
According to an environmental impact assessment terms of reference document issued this month, the authority says this exemption will not continue unless steps are taken for the island’s airport to achieve certification of international standards.
Little Cayman residents who attended a public meeting at the Little Cayman Beach Resort last week said they had felt blindsided to see moving the airport listed as the preferred option in that terms of reference document, saying they had left a similar meeting two years earlier with the impression that upgrading the existing site would be the way forward.
