The Cayman Islands Airports Authority (CIAA), which operates the Owen Roberts International Airport (ORIA) on Grand Cayman and the Charles Kirkconnell International Airport (CKIA) on Cayman Brac, is pleased to announce that Spirit Airlines will begin non-stop service to the Cayman Islands. The new route will launch from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) three times per week on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday beginning 4 December 2025, to Owen Roberts International Airport on Grand Cayman (GCM).
