Owen Roberts International Airport is located in George Town, Grand Cayman. This is the main airport where all international flights arrive.

Little Cayman Airport is served by daily inter-island flights offered by Cayman Airways Express.
There are more than 55 weekly flights into George Town, including 28 flights each week between Miami and Grand Cayman with connections to Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Direct non-stop service from Miami is provided by Cayman Airways and American Airlines.
Inter-island service between Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman is provided by Cayman Airways.
