Caribbean Airlines Limited (CAL) has ramped up its flight schedule between Jamaica and The Cayman Islands during the Easter and summer holiday periods.

As such, residents in Cayman and Jamaica, who are looking for options for an Easter weekend getaway or summer travel, now have the Cayman/Montego Bay route as a choice.

Over Easter, flight KX2612 will depart Grand Cayman on Friday (April 7) at 7:35 am to arrive in Montego Bay at 8:35 am.

Flight KX2613 then departs Montego Bay at 9:35 am to arrive in Grand Cayman at 10:30 am. 

On Monday (April 10) flight KX2616 departs Grand Cayman at 5:10 pm and arrives in Montego Bay at 6:10 pm. Then flight KX2617 departs Montego Bay at 7:10 pm and arrives back in Grand Cayman at 8:05 pm.

The popular Jamaica destination will also see the addition of non-stop flights to/from Grand Cayman this summer from June 23 through September 8.

The summer flight schedule has flight KX2612 departing Grand Cayman at 7:35 am and arriving in Montego Bay at 8:35 am. Then flight KX2613 departs Montego Bay at 9:35 am and arrives back in Grand Cayman at 10:30 am. 

Cayman Airways has confirmed that due to changes in Jamaican security policies affecting all airports in Jamaica, including Sangster International Airport (MBJ), passengers on flights are required to deplane during mandatory security checks.

This policy rendered impractical the previous arrangement of a combined Montego Bay/Kingston flight whereby passengers continuing on to another stop in Jamaica could remain onboard. 

In response, the airline has instead offered seasonal and ad-hoc services while actively exploring various solutions to address the issue. Passengers can book tickets online at www.caymanairways.com.

PAHO and MOHW conclude after-action review workshop to boost hurricane preparedness

Reading Time: 3 minutesThe Ministry of Health and Wellness (MOHW), in collaboration with the Pan American Health Organisation/World Health Organisation (PAHO/WHO), recently concluded a two-day After-Action Review (AAR) workshop held from March 24–25. The workshop aimed to strengthen Jamaica’s preparedness and response systems following the impact of Hurricane Melissa.

After-Action Reviews are a standard tool in emergency management, used to assess response efforts, capture lessons learned, and improve coordination, planning, and operational systems for future events. Importantly, aligning the AAR process with the International Health Regulations (IHR) ensures that the evaluation of public health emergencies meets globally recognised standards, strengthening Jamaica’s ability to detect, assess, report, and respond to health threats in a timely and effective manner.

USCIS strengthens screening and vetting of immigration applicants

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced a series of strengthened screening and vetting measures aimed at enhancing national security and public safety, particularly for applicants from high-risk countries.

In a statement released Tuesday (March), USCIS said its review of pending workloads and benefit applications revealed that prior screening measures were “wholly inadequate.” According to the agency, many applicants for naturalisation and lawful permanent residence were not sufficiently vetted, creating risks to national security and public safety while undermining the integrity of the immigration system.
