Cayman Islands Airports Airport Master Plan 2032 CAYMAN ISLANDS AIRPORTS WSP Canada Inc. 1300 Yonge Street Suite 801 Toronto, ON M4T 1X3 Tel: 647-789-3550 AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 2032 Fax: 647-789-3560 www.wspgroup.com Owen Roberts International Airport (ORIA) Charles Kirkconnell International Airport (CKIA) • Little Cayman Airport (LCA) Project No. 131-25468-00 Date:July 2014, Rev 1 CAYMAN ISLANDS AIRPORTS AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 2032 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Airport Master Plan is intended to be a blueprint for future development of the Cayman Islands Airports including Owen Roberts International Airport (ORIA, Grand Cayman), Charles Kirkconnell International Airport (CKIA, Cayman Brac) and Little Cayman Airport (LCA), all of which will be managed and operated by the Cayman Islands Airport Authority (CIAA). This plan is a description of the most appropriate development options regarding land use, facilities, and services required to ensure CIAA meets its strategic objectives and accommodates expected levels of traffic over the next 18 years to the year 2032. It builds upon previous airport master plans and is guided by the progressive efforts of the CIAA and a policy directive of the Cayman Islands Government issued in October 2013 in which the government clearly established to further enhance the existing facilities at all three airports for passenger (international and domestic) arrivals to improve the travel experience. The government’s policy was intended to support the Government’s Broad Outcome Goal of “Setting the Stage for Success in the Tourism Industry” and developing further tourism opportunities in the Cayman Islands through increased air service development. This Cayman Islands Airport Master Plan 2032 also serves to address the requirements of the CIAA’s commitment to progressive, sustainable and customer focused airport development which requires periodic reviews and updates of all its Airport Master Plans. This plan further establishes priority investments ensuring affordability over the planning period as part of a substantive Outline Business Case (OBC) process taking into account all three airports in the Cayman Islands Airport System and the financing capacity of the CIAA. The following summarizes the key recommendations made in this study: Owen Roberts International Airport (ORIA, Grand Cayman): The final recommended capital spend related to the ORIA was based on the short, medium and long-term planning periods. Figure ES-1 represents the final recommended prioritization of the various master plan recommendations balanced against CKIA and LCA priorities and financing capacity of the CIAA. The following highlights some of the key features of the ORIA implementation plan: Runway 08-26 works are planned within the short-term to ensure all safety priorities and strengthening are in place for the change in aircraft by British Airways to the B777 series aircraft in 2016; A number of immediate pre-Phase 1 activities have been accounted for including the major spend of $250,000 to install the long-await covered apron walkway for the terminal building; The existing ORIA passenger terminal phased expansion program is planned to commence in 2015 and be continuous up to 2022 based on the proposed phasing proposed in this master plan; The aviation fuel system relocation and associated landside access road should be prioritized in 2015 to permit the expansion of main terminal apron to the east can begin as soon a possible in 2015; Major work on the proposed parallel taxiway system has been deferred into years 12 to 15 due spend priorites associated with LCA. Shortly after LCA is complete funds become available which have been prioritized to complete the full parallel taxiway system at ORIA; Capital costs for certain airport master plan elements have not been included the financial forecast since these particular elements were considered as special triggered events that would require additional financial analysis to confirm affordability and to justify their implementation. Refer to the following table. This table also summarizes investments that have been accounted for in the financial analysis by the CIAA that enable future commercial development opportunities for private investment with particular emphasis on general aviation, commercial airside and FBO type facilities.

These studies are recommended to be completed over the short- term as part of enabling and supporting new construction work and also to establish baseline information for future expansion projects in particular in the East Development Area and possible closure and re-routing of Crewe Road on the west end of the site.

Figure ES-2 represents the final recommended prioritization of the various master plan recommendations balanced against ORIA and LCA priorities and financing capacity of the CIAA. The following highlights some of the key features of the CKIA financial implementation plan: Only the key safety priorities are proposed for years 1 through 7 to ensure maximization of funding available to the ORIA and LCA. These priorities are focussed on the west end RESA reconfigutation, ARFF road construction and obstacle/vegetation trimming/clearing; Major airside and landside rehabilitation has been scheduled to coincide just before the major spend is planned for Little Cayman in years 7 to 8. This approach will leverage the availability of construction resources in the Sister Islands for both the CKIA and LCA projects during this period; Other master planning recommendations related to terminal and apron expansion are long-term investments planned for the years 11 to 13; An allowance for special studies that have been recommended as part of the environmental scoping process was included. These studies are recommended to be completed over the short- term as part of enabling and supporting new construction work and also to establish baseline information for future expansion projects. The total spend proposed for ORIA over the planning period is shown below: Item Short-Term Medium-Term Long-Term Airport Total No. (0-5 years) (6-10 years) (11-20 years) 1 CKIA $2,515,000 $3,214,000 $5,855,148 $11,584,148 Little Cayman Airport (LCA, Little Cayman) Although the final preferred scenario has not been determined, for the purpose of this financial analysis, the cost for Scenario 3 was used as it represents the most reasonable cost for the new airport. Figure ES-3 represents the final recommended prioritization of the various master plan recommendations balanced against ORIA and CKIA priorities and financing capacity of the CIAA. This layout should be considered a generalized airport layout and would be adapted to the final preferred site selected as part of a final analysis and Environmental Impact Assessment process.

  • Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
    BIRD TOURISM REPORTS 7/2016 Petri Hottola GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS Fig. 1. An Antillean Nighthawk, one of the birds seen during the short Grand Cayman visit. In 2016, June 18th to 20th, I made a brief visit to the island of Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. The visit was not without its problems, notably those with American Airlines delays and cancellations. Moreover, my need to save money on this exceedingly expensive (accommodation) island resulted in a program not everybody would consider their piece of cake. Nevertheless, some of the mistakes and successes of this trip might be informative or inspiring to other birders who intend to visit Grand Cayman. The target birds were seen, after all. I therefore decided to write a few lines in the form of the following report. This was actually my second visit in Grand Cayman. In 2013, on my way to Cuba, I was in transit in George Town, with Cayman Airways flights. The plan was to look for the near-endemic Vitelline Warbler in a promising spot next to the airport. Unfortunately, nobody was able to confirm our departure time. It could be delayed or early, and I therefore had to check in at once, not being able to leave the building, as planned. Cayman Airways, Bahamasair and various other regional airlines operate in their own cultural realm, in which timetables are not followed the way the rest of the world follows them. It is the so called ‘Caribbean Time Zone’. As a result, I needed to return to Grand Cayman in 2016, and overnight there.
