On January 3, 2024, Cayman Airways flight KX480 from Grand Cayman to Los Angeles (LAX), developed a minor defect with the Captain’s windshield on landing in Los Angeles at approximately 7:30PM PST. This defect occurred in the outermost (non-structural) layer of the windshield, and whilst this defect does not affect the aircraft’s ability to be safely operated, a decision was taken by Cayman Airways to remove the aircraft from service in order to have the windshield replaced in Los Angeles before further flight.

The removal of the aircraft from service in Los Angeles has also resulted in Cayman Airways taking a decision to dispatch (ferry) another aircraft from its jet fleet (in Grand Cayman) to Los Angeles on the morning of January 4, 2024 in order to operate Cayman Airways flight KX481 from Los Angeles, which was originally scheduled to depart Los Angeles at 7AM (PST).

The aircraft that was removed from service in Los Angeles is scheduled to be returned to service on January 6, 2024, and the airline’s flight schedule for today (January 4, 2024) and tomorrow (January 5, 2024) has accordingly been adjusted as follows:

January 4, 2024

• KX481 from Los Angeles will depart at 3:00PM (PST).
