Cayman Airways flight KX793, which was scheduled to depart New York (JFK) for Grand Cayman today October, 13, 2025, at 11:45am, was delayed due to a mechanical issue with the aircraft.

The airline’s efforts to send another aircraft to collect the passengers this evening was unsuccessful due to slot constraints at JFK airport, forcing the airline to cancel the flight.

Cayman Airways is re-protecting the affected passengers with a recovery flight on Tuesday October 14, 2025 which will depart JFK at 11:45am to arrive on Grand Cayman (GCM) at 2:45pm. Cayman Airways Limited (CAL) is providing support to the affected passengers by way of accommodations, transportation, and meals as needed, with a sincere apology for any inconvenience this cancellation may have caused.

Cayman Airways Limited (CAL) is advising customers that this evening’s planned SpaceX Starship Flight 11 launch from Boca Chica, Texas, may temporarily affect one flight in the airline’s schedule.
Cayman Airways flight KX107 from Miami to Grand Cayman, which is scheduled to depart at 8:40pm Miami time, is the only CAL flight expected to be affected, if at all. The SpaceX rocket launch is scheduled for as early as 6:15pm Cayman time (7:15pm Miami time). For safety, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Cuban aviation authorities will impose short-term restrictions over the Gulf of Mexico and the North-Western Caribbean during the rocket’s ascent and recovery phase. These restrictions are expected to remain in effect until about 8:20pm Cayman time (about 9:20pm Miami time). In that case, Cayman Airways flight KX107 from Miami could experience a delay of up to one hour. All other Cayman Airways flights are expected to operate as scheduled.
Cayman Airways continues to coordinate closely with air traffic authorities and will issue updates through www.caymanairways.com, airport information displays, and customer notifications as required.
