Gateway to the tranquil shores of Cayman Brac.

Location
West End, Cayman Islands
Charles Kirkconnell International Airport is the main airport serving Cayman Brac, the second-largest of the Cayman Islands. Located near West End on the western tip of the island, it provides essential air connectivity for residents and visitors traveling to this relatively remote British Overseas Territory. The airport is named after Charles Kirkconnell, a prominent Caymanian statesman and legislator who served the Cayman Brac community for many decades. The facility handles a modest volume of traffic given the island's small population and tourism base. Flights primarily connect Cayman Brac to Grand Cayman's Owen Roberts International Airport, with some regional Caribbean connections. The airport plays a vital role in supporting the island's diving and ecotourism industry, which draws visitors from around the world.
Terminals
The airport features a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a regional island airport.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options on Cayman Brac are limited, with taxis and rental cars being the primary means of reaching accommodations and dive resorts on the island.
Airlines here
Cayman Airways is the primary carrier operating scheduled services through Charles Kirkconnell International Airport.
