Due to the announcement by the Cayman Islands Governor, His Excellency Martyn Roper, that quarantine facilities on Grand Cayman are currently at capacity, this will be a one-way outbound flight only.

For passengers in the Sister Islands wishing to travel on these repatriation flights to Miami on May 1, 2020, the following connecting flights have been added:

• Flight KX4320: departs Little Cayman at 8:15am and arrives on Cayman Brac at 8:25am. The flight then departs the Brac at 8:40am and arrives on Grand Cayman at 9:20am, in time for the 10:30am departure to Miami

• Flight KX4321: departs Cayman Brac at 1:35pm for arrival on Grand Cayman at 2:15pm, in time for the 3:30pm departure to Miami
