  • 2013 – 2014 Annual Report
    2013 - 2014 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY OF THE CAYMAN ISLANDS CAACI Annual Report 2013 - 2014 Director-General of Civil Aviation, P. H. Richard Smith, MBE FRAeS The 2013/14 financial year was another successful year for the Authority that culminated in the highest net income ever realised. This result is testament to prudent management of the Authority’s finances and the commitment and dedication of its employees. While there are many factors beyond the control of the Authority that could influence its financial performance, management has been diligent in its approach to ensure that efficiencies and service levels are optimised through training, IT implementation and upgrades, adherence to sound regulatory standards, and appropriate staff recognition and incentives. During this period the DGCA represented the Authority at the bi-annual Overseas Territories Safety and Performance Council (OTSPC) held in Crawley, UK in November 2013. The OTSPC was established by the UK Department for Transport (DfT) in May of 2013 as a component of a new governance structure for the regulatory oversight of civil aviation in the UK Overseas Territories. The other component is the Aviation Policy Consultative Conference (APCC) established at the same time, which will meet annually 1 CAACI Annual Report 2013 - 2014 and will be attended by Governors and OT Ministers with responsibility for civil aviation in each of their respective territories. During the OTSPC, discussions were held regarding changes to the oversight of aviation security in the OTs. This function was previously carried out by TRANSEC, a specialty DfT department that was disbanded during UK Government’s austerity measures budgetary cuts.

    Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands 30 November 2017 Use of Small Unmanned Aircraft in the Cayman Islands 1 Introduction 1.1 Small Unmanned Aircraft (SUA) is the generic term used in the aviation legislation covering a variety of similar names including, but not limited to, drones, mini- copters, quad-copters, radio control model aircraft, remotely piloted aircraft and (small) unmanned aerial vehicles. 1.2 The current legislation relating to SUA is contained in Article 73 of the Air Navigation (Overseas Territories) Order 2013 [AN(OT)O 2013] as amended, a copy of which can be found at the following link: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/2870/article/73/made 1.3 In addition and with effect from 1st February 2016 SUA are prohibited from flying within 3 nautical miles (nm) of the perimeter of: a) Owen Roberts International Airport (Grand Cayman); b) Charles Kirkconnell International Airport (Cayman Brac) and; c) Edward Bodden Airfield (Little Cayman).

  • CAYMAN ISLANDS NATIONAL TOURISM PLAN (2019-2023) 2 Message from Hon
    The Cayman Islands will protect our environment, celebrate our cultural heritage, while supporting a vibrant tourism economy that benefits the people of the Cayman Islands. CAYMAN ISLANDS NATIONAL TOURISM PLAN (2019-2023) 2 Message from Hon. Moses Kirkconnell. JP, MLA Deputy Premier and Minister for District Administration, Tourism and Transport Tourism is an important aspect of the Cayman Islands economy and way of life. It provides jobs and economic opportunity for our residents, while showcasing our Islands’ natural beauty and cultural heritage to visitors from all around the world. Traditional performance indicators such as tourist arrivals, employment statistics and contribution to GDP all confirm that the Cayman Islands tourism industry is booming. In 2017, stayover visitor arrivals crossed the 400,000 threshold, achieving a historic 418,403. Total arrivals for 2018 in both air and cruise visitation was 2,394,058, an 11.05 percent increase over the same period in 2017. In 2018 we received 463,001 stayover visitors, an increase of 10.66 percent over 2018. Although tourism is increasingly shouldering more responsibility for our economic well-being, it continues to deliver positive benefits to our Islands. To fully leverage these benefits, it is vital that the industry’s growth is managed in a way that is socially, commercially and environmentally viable. This is why this National Tourism Plan 2019-2023 is so important. It marks the achievement of a further milestone for the industry and provides our Country with an overarching framework for managing purposeful tourism growth over the next five years. The Plan has been developed to share both a long-term vision and medium-term objectives that will help the tourism sector to continue thriving and prospering, while conserving our natural resources and cultural heritage.
