Cayman Airways is the flag carrier airline of the British Overseas Territory of the Cayman Islands. With its head office in Grand Cayman, it operates mainly as an international and domestic scheduled passenger carrier, with cargo services available on all routes. Its operations are based at Owen Roberts International Airport in George Town, Grand Cayman. The airline also offers a limited charter service. Cayman Airways' slogan is "Those who fly us love us". The airline was established and started operations on August 7, 1968. It was formed following the Cayman Government's purchase of 51% of Cayman Brac Airways, from LACSA, the Costa Rican flag carrier, and became wholly government owned in December 1977.[3] The airline operated regional services from Owen Roberts International Airport in George Town, Grand Cayman to Gerrard Smith International Airport on Cayman Brac. Early on, the airline's aircraft was a single Douglas DC-3. A few months after it was formed, Cayman Airways flew its first international route to Kingston, Jamaica, using a leased BAC One-Eleven. International service to Miami began in 1972 using a single leased Douglas DC-6 prop airliner. The airline acquired its first jet aircraft, a stretched BAC One-Eleven series 500 in 1978, and began services to Houston. In 1979, a second BAC One-Eleven jet, a Hawker Siddeley 748 turboprop, and a Britten-Norman Trislander STOL (short take off and landing) prop aircraft were purchased. The airline replaced their two BAC One-Eleven jets with Boeing 727-200 aircraft in 1982, strengthening the airline's regional and international capability, and also allowed for the introduction of first class service. The 727 jets were eventually replaced with Boeing 737-200 and then with Boeing 737-300 aircraft. Boeing 737-400 jetliners were operated as well. At one time or another during the 1980s, Cayman Airways offered scheduled or charter service to Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Minneapolis, Newark, New York City, Philadelphia and St. Louis as well as Kingston and Montego Bay in Jamaica. The airline also flew nonstop at one point between Miami and Grand Turk and Providenciales in the Turks & Caicos Islands with Boeing 727-200 jetliners. These were the only routes flown by the carrier that did not directly serve the Cayman Islands. Cayman Airlines has also operated jet service into Cayman Brac over the years, including nonstop flights between Cayman Brac and Miami, and currently continues to do so. In addition, the airline currently operates weekly nonstop jet service between Grand Cayman and Le Ceiba, Honduras. The airline struggled throughout the early 1990s; however, financial assistance from the Cayman Islands Government, financial re-structuring, a new fleet and the addition of new destinations such as Chicago, Boston, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Fort Lauderdale, Havana and Washington, D.C. appear to have helped the airline.
The
Boeing 737
is a short- to medium-range twin-engine narrow-body jet airliner. Originally developed as a shorter, lower-cost twin-engine airliner derived from Boeing's 707 and 727, the 737 has developed into a family of nine passenger models with a capacity of 85 to 215 passengers. The 737 is Boeing's only narrow-body airliner in production, with the -600, -700, -800, and -900ER variants currently being built. A re-engined and redesigned version, the 737 MAX, is set to debut in 2017. Originally envisioned in 1964, the initial 737-100 flew in 1967 and entered airline service in February 1968. Next the lengthened 737-200 entered service in April 1968. In the 1980s Boeing launched the -300, -400, and -500 models, subsequently referred to as the Boeing 737 Classic series. The 737 Classics added capacity and incorporated CFM56 turbofan engines along with wing improvements. In the 1990s Boeing introduced the 737 Next Generation with multiple changes including a redesigned wing, upgraded cockpit, and new interior. The 737 Next Generation comprises the four -600, -700, -800, and -900ER models, ranging from 102 ft (31.09 m) to 138 ft (42.06 m) in length. Boeing Business Jet versions of the 737 Next Generation are also produced. The 737 series is the best-selling jet airliner in the history of aviation. The 737 has been continuously manufactured by Boeing since 1967 with 7,457 aircraft delivered and 3,044 orders yet to be fulfilled as of January 2013. 737 assembly is centered at the Boeing Renton Factory in
Renton
,
Washington
. Many 737s serve markets previously filled by 707, 727, 757, DC-9, and MD-80/MD-90 airliners, and the aircraft currently competes primarily with the Airbus A320 family. There are, on average, 1,250 Boeing 737s airborne at any given time, with two departing or landing somewhere every five seconds.
