Starting May 24, Cayman Airways will launch the first-ever nonstop service between Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and Owen Roberts International Airport in Grand Cayman. The new flight will operate once weekly on Sundays, marking the first direct connection between Austin and the Cayman Islands. This new route reflects a broader shift in how Caribbean destinations are sourcing visitors, as Austin's population growth and rising profile as a tech and business hub have created a new pool of travelers with both the means and frequency to support international leisure routes.

Why it matters

This new flight opens a direct channel into a high-growth U.S. market that hasn't historically had easy access to Grand Cayman. For travelers in Central Texas, it turns a multi-leg trip into a single flight, making it easier to reach the island's famous Seven Mile Beach.

The details

The Austin–Grand Cayman service will run once weekly, with Sunday departures and returns. This schedule supports both weeklong stays and extended weekends. For Cayman Airways, the route adds another U.S. gateway, while for Austin, it adds a new category of international access that has been building steadily.

• The new nonstop flights between Austin and Grand Cayman will launch on May 24, 2026.
• The flights will operate once weekly on Sundays.
