Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (13 November 2018) Please be advised of the upcoming changes at Owen Roberts International Airport.

On Friday, 16 November 2018, the East side of the Departures Hall, which will serve Gates 8 and 9, will open for departing passengers. Access to the East side of the Departures Hall will be immediately on the left after passengers clear the Security Screening Check Point area. All other gates will be to the right after clearing the Security Screening Check Point area. Customer Service personnel will be available to direct passengers to their appropriate gate entrance.

This is phase two of a three-phased opening of the completed Departures Hall and follows the expanded Immigration Hall, which opened in October 2018 with 9,420 square feet of space, and the expanded Security Screening Check Point, which opened earlier this month.

Substantial completion of the Airport project is slated for January 2019, including the remaining Departures Hall expansion. When completed, the Airport will also include the addition of a children’s play area, mothers’ nursing station, digital flight information displays, a food court, a duty-free shopping gallery and common-use self-service kiosks.

The expansion will almost triple the Airport’s size from 77,000 to 208,000 square feet, accommodating up to 2.5 million passengers per year.

The Cayman Islands Airports Authority (CIAA) owns and operates the Owen Roberts International Airport (ORIA) in Grand Cayman and the Charles Kirkconnell Airport (CKIA) in Cayman Brac.
