Owen Roberts International Airport plays a pivotal role in serving Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, and is a significant hub for Cayman Airways. Named in honor of Wing Commander Owen Roberts, a pioneer in Cayman’s commercial aviation, this airport serves as one of the main entry points to the Cayman Islands. Historically, it boasted a unique open-air observation “waving gallery,” but this feature was closed in January 2017 due to reconstruction.
Wing Commander Owen Roberts, a former Royal Air Force Wing Commander during World War II, founded Caribbean International Airways (CIA) after his retirement. Under his leadership, CIA initiated regular flight services between Grand Cayman and destinations like Tampa, Florida; Kingston, Jamaica; and British Honduras (now Belize). Roberts played a pivotal role in advocating for airfields on all three Cayman Islands. Construction began in 1952, resulting in the establishment of a 5,000 ft runway and a terminal on Grand Cayman. Tragically, Wing Commander Roberts lost his life in a plane crash in 1953, and the airport was later named in his honor.
Over the years, Owen Roberts International Airport has undergone expansion projects, including renovations to the departure hall, passport control, and customs hall, and enhancements to car parks and pick-up/drop-off locations. The airport is a key point of entry for travelers to the Cayman Islands and holds a significant place in the country’s aviation history.
