GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, Oct 16 2015 – Cayman Airways announced Friday that it is launching new service between Cayman Brac and Holguin, Cuba.
The carrier said in a statement that the second route is to meet the growing demand for flights between Cayman and Cuba, and to provide dual destination travel opportunities for Canadian and European visitors to Cayman.
The first flight is slated to depart Cayman Brac for Holguin on Saturday November 28, 2015, and will operate once a week on Saturdays. Cayman Airways Express will provide connecting flights from/to Grand Cayman.
“This new service to eastern Cuba is designed to complement the airline’s existing flights between Havana and Grand Cayman, which is often capacity constrained,” explained Cayman Airways President and CEO, Fabian Whorms.
“Holguin is Cuba’s fourth most populous city and was selected due to its close proximity to Santiago de Cuba and Camaguey, Cuba’s second and third most populous cities respectively. It is also anticipated that many of the airline’s existing Havana passengers, many of whom are from Cuba’s eastern towns, will be able to utilise this direct service and avoid lengthy travel between the capital city and their hometowns.”
